Special Issue: Research Center Řež: Nuclear-Engineering Activities in 2020

Abstract

This special issue is dedicated primarily to research performed in the Research Centre Řež Centrum Výzkumu Řež (CVŘ hereafter) during the Research for SUSEN (R4S) project (project solved in CVŘ), which is the follow-up of the (SUSEN) project (sustainable energy project, that was successfully completed at the end of 2020. Research Centre Řež (Fig. 1) is a research organization founded in 2002. It is a member of the UJV Group (Czech nuclear engineering company), and it is focused on precommercial research in power-generation technologies, predominantly, but not exclusively, in the nuclear field. The R4S project comprised many topics, including the research and development of new technologies for current and future generations of nuclear reactor systems and nuclear fusion reactors. It was carried out within the CVŘ, in close partnership with the University of West Bohemia, and was funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.
