Poland will start work on its first nuclear power plant after gaining approval from the European Commission, prime minister Donald Tusk said.

The country had sought the green light for around 60bn zloty (€14.2bn) in public aid for the landmark project, which is expected to cost a total of 192bn zloty. The approval will allow Poland to sign agreements with US-based Westinghouse Electric and Bechtel Group to build the plant, which will be located on the Baltic Sea coast.
