The author wrote that the EU has paid an additional 100 billion euros for oil and gas imports since the beginning of the Gulf conflict. EU Commissioner Jørgensen demands energy "Made in Europe," also from small modular reactors. EmeraldHorizonX is working on this project in Austria, it said. https://t.co/aU2tdFQZer #Energie #EU #Nachhaltigkeit #AT #EU (translated)
The Chinese reactor BEST is set to develop a technology by 2030 that produces more energy than it consumes, which could represent a significant advancement in nuclear fusion as it competes with the USA. #Kernfusion #Energie #Klimawandel (translated)
The author of the entry assessed that the construction of the first Polish nuclear power plant has reached an important stage. He wrote that earlier Bechtel was commissioned to contract the turbines and auxiliary equipment, and recently also to build the hall for the assembly of reactor modules. He added that further works were also commissioned, but did not specify what they were. https://t.co/PJjGhEz0Lg #Energetyka #ElektrowniaJądrowa #Polska #PL (translated)
Denik P – Paukner Media addressed Filip Turek's apology for his statements about the DUHA Movement in a post. It stated that Turek repeated the wording of the court ruling in the video, but also mentioned which people he believed left the original team at the Ministry of the Environment. The author focused on their professional backgrounds and attitudes towards energy. Regarding Martin Sedlák, an advisor to Petr Hladík, it was written that he previously worked in the DUHA Movement and later led the Union of Modern Energy and the Alliance for a Zero-Emission Future. He attributed to him statements from 2009 and 2011 against the need for nuclear energy and stated that he collaborated with DUHA on delaying the completion of Temelín. Martin Ander, another former DUHA employee and advisor to the minister, was identified as a proponent of a zero-emission economy and strict measures against both coal and nuclear power plants. It was claimed that Ander advocated for the termination of Czech nuclear energy and that similar policies in Germany contributed to the consequences of the energy crisis. The head of the climate protection section at the ministry, Petr Holub, was also linked by the author to the DUHA Movement and opposition to nuclear energy. It was noted that Holub promoted climate education at the ministry and participated in the National Climate and Energy Plan, which, according to the post, set a 30% share of production from renewable sources. It was also claimed that Holub advocated for subsidy support in the law for the creation of renewable energy capacity corresponding to ten times the installed capacity of Dukovany. The author estimated the investment costs from 2023 to 2030 at 100 billion crowns per year and referred to a SEEPIA study. Eva Lejsalová, the director of PR at the ministry, was described by the author as a former director of the political institute of KDU-ČSL, not an environmental expert. Regarding communication director Martin Polívka, it was written that he was Hladík's chief of staff in Brno; according to the author, he did not have the necessary education and called himself a political marketing expert. Petr Holub's advisor, Edvard Sequens, was labeled as an anti-nuclear activist and a member of the Calla association. He attributed to him support for the rapid end of coal energy and industrial contraction and stated that the association opposed new reactors in Dukovany and Temelín even in 2025. According to the author, Sequens considered nuclear energy an outdated technology that could be replaced by renewable sources and lower energy consumption in industries. Regarding Radim Misiaček, the project director of acceleration zones, the author stated that his contract with the ministry included a fee of 7,000 crowns daily for selecting experts, without a specified working time. Among the selected, he mentioned Martin Abel, a candidate from the Greens and a member of the Climate Lawsuit association, and Eva Volfová, a politician from STAN, whom he claimed had gained a stake in a company drawing state contracts. He added that he believed the case was being investigated by the police. In conclusion, the author refused to assess whether they were experts. He reacted to the media's labeling of their departure from the ministry as an "exodus of experts" and "dismantling of the expert team," stating that he wanted to present the people Turek claimed to have "scraped" from the ministry. #HnutíDUHA #energetika #odborníci (translated)
On October 15, 2026, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is organizing the annual National Radiation Safety Day, where stakeholders from Sweden and Europe gather to discuss licensing processes for new reactors, international exchange of experiences, and safety culture within the nuclear power sector. #strålsäkerhet #kärnsäkerhet #kompetensförsörjning (translated)
The author informed that orders for the first reactor of the Polish nuclear power plant have started. He wrote that the execution of elements of the so-called nuclear island has already been commissioned, including important structural modules and the reactor's safety containment. He assessed that nuclear energy would be the foundation of Poland's energy security. #energia #reaktor #bezpieczeństwo #PL (translated)

Ziemowit Miłosz Malecha wrote that he did not know that editor Jakub Wiech is also dealing with fusion. He assessed that the project is significantly delayed and is meant to be an experiment demonstrating that achieving the Lawson criterion is possible. He added that the road to a power plant or stable reactor is still very long, and solving subsequent problems leads to the emergence of new ones. He recalled the joke that fusion will be available in a few decades and emphasized that he personally bets on stellarators as potential reactors. #fuzja #reaktory #energia (translated)
