Czech-Japanese Research Gains Global Attention

An international collaboration between the Research Centre Řež, the University of Tokyo, Kajima Co., and the Mitsubishi Research Institute has led to groundbreaking insights into the behaviour of concrete in nuclear environments. Our organization played a key role in the research: concrete samples were irradiated in the LVR-15 research reactor and subsequently tested in our hot cells.
