Czech Republic Proposes Amendments to Low-Carbon Act, Key Dukovany Nuclear Contracts May Exit Public Registry
The Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade recently published a draft amendment to the Low-Carbon Act, proposing adjustments to the Act on Measures for the Transition to Low-Carbon Energy and related energy laws and contract registration regulations. On the surface, this legislative change is primarily aimed at unifying the support mechanisms, contract signing procedures, and compensation settlement rules for new nuclear power projects. However, the most notable change is that certain key contracts involving the construction and financial support of nuclear power units may no longer be required to be disclosed in the public contract registration system. The draft proposes the "compensation mechanism contract" as the basic model for supporting new nuclear projects, with a nature similar to a bilateral contract for difference—providing compensation when market electricity prices fall below agreed levels, and requiring repayment or settlement when prices exceed agreed levels.

Anhui Juhe Haizhi Technology Co., Ltd., jointly established by Jianghuai Laboratory, the Institute of Energy at Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, Keda Silicon Valley, and Anhui Penggong Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., has officially settled in Hefei. The company focuses on the industrialization of embodied intelligent equipment for extreme environments, with key deployments in high-risk operational scenarios such as nuclear radiation, deep sea, and specialty chemicals. Juhe Haizhi plans to release two embodied intelligent robots for extreme environments by the end of August 2026. Among them, the commercial fusion radiation-resistant maintenance robot is one of the key products to be released, providing unmanned intelligent maintenance solutions for nuclear radiation-related scenarios, with neutron target maintenance for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) devices being one of its core application scenarios...

August 12 news, Xi'an Maistop Technology Co., Ltd. recently completed its Pre-A round of financing, with investors including the Central Enterprise Strategic Emerging Fund and Guoxin Venture Capital Fund, both under China Reform Holdings Corporation. The proceeds from this round will primarily be used for site construction, equipment procurement, technology R&D, and daily operations. Founded in 2019, Maistop is a technology enterprise engaged in the R&D and production of medical radionuclides as well as nuclear medicine technical services. The company focuses on the preparation of medical radionuclides via the electron accelerator photonuclear reaction method, with core products including Actinium-225, Lead-212, Copper-67, and Molybdenum-99. Among these, Actinium-225 is a scarce radionuclide of significant interest in alpha-emitting nuclide targeted therapy, with relatively strong global clinical demand...

On August 10, the Mianyang Science and Technology City Strategic Development Research Center held an online innovation achievement release conference, unveiling a medical radioactive waste treatment technology developed by the School of National Defense Science and Technology / School of Nuclear Science and Technology at Southwest University of Science and Technology. The technology targets radioactive contaminants including liquid waste, off-gas, and solid waste generated during nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment, offering a full-chain comprehensive treatment solution. The conference attracted 87,000 experts in the nuclear medicine field, departmental representatives, and enterprise users. With the rapid development of the domestic nuclear medicine industry, insufficient radioactive waste disposal capacity has gradually become a key issue facing the industry's safe expansion. Relevant data show that over 96% of nuclear medicine departments nationwide are constrained by decay tank capacity...

U.S.-based Zeno Power Systems has proposed a radioisotope heating concept for lunar extravehicular activities, planning to use Americium-241 (Am-241) to provide continuous passive warmth for astronauts during lunar nights and in permanently shadowed regions. The proposal has been selected for this year's NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program, with the potential to receive up to $175,000 in early-stage research funding. The lunar surface environment is one of the key challenges for long-duration crewed missions. Data shows that lunar nights can last approximately two weeks, and extreme low temperatures will limit the duration of astronaut extravehicular activities in shadowed areas and at night. Even with new-generation spacesuits, their cold resistance remains limited...

At a meeting of the Science and Education Committee, Mikhail Kovalchuk, Director of the National Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute," announced that 25 experimental stations of the PIK high-flux nuclear reactor at the Konstantinov Nuclear Physics Institute in Gatchina, Leningrad Oblast, Russia, will be commissioned in December 2026. According to reports, the project is being implemented pursuant to a presidential decree. Currently, construction of these 25 experimental stations is nearing completion, and the associated waveguide hall is planned to open in December of the same year. As a large-scale research facility, the PIK reactor will provide experimental conditions for related nuclear physics research once its experimental stations are commissioned...

Russian researchers have recently proposed a rapid bacterial detection method for determining optimal doses of ionizing radiation for animals. Related studies suggest that low-dose radiation in the range of tens to hundreds of milligrays (mGy) may activate physiological processes such as metabolism, growth, and biomass accumulation, offering new technical approaches for livestock farming, veterinary medicine, and related fields.
