Poland 's government Tuesday said it will go ahead with its plans to build two nuclear power plants in the country, after preparations slowed down in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan .

The first of the two power plants is expected to go online in 2024.

The original deadline was 2020 but this was pushed back due to the global financial crisis and the Fukushima disaster.
