Abstract

Jan’s contribution to nuclear water chemistry, utilization of research reactors, and nuclear fusion research strongly impacted the technology development on both the national and international scientific scenes. Working in إکeإ¾, the nuclear research valley located in the outskirts of Prague, there was hardly a place that was not, in one way or another, influenced by the spirit and doings of Jan Kysela. He worked in إکeإ¾ for almost 50آ years as a researcher, research reactor services director, and scientific director in the Nuclear Research Institute (أڑJV إکeإ¾) and in the Research Centre إکeإ¾. Jan Kysela introduced fusion research and supported the expansion of activities related to generation IV research to the portfolio of research priorities.
