NCBJ at a meeting in the European Parliament devoted to readiness for radiation and nuclear incidents
12-03-2026
At the beginning of March, a meeting entitled “How Prepared is our Union for Nuclear Disaster? European Perspectives on Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Response” was held at the European Parliament in Brussels, devoted to European readiness for radiological and nuclear hazards. The event was attended by representatives of the Hazard Analysis Centre (MANHAZ) at the National Centre for Nuclear Research – dr Sławomir Potempski, head of the centre, and dr Anna Wawrzyńczak-Szaban.
NCBJ has developed a concept for reactors that can produce electricity, heat and hydrogen
09-03-2026
The National Centre for Nuclear Research has developed a concept for a nuclear reactor that could simultaneously generate electricity, heat for industry and hydrogen. According to researchers from the NCBJ – Janusz Malesa, Błażej Chmielarz, Dominik Muszyński and Maciej Skrzypek – a solution based on high-temperature gas-cooled reactors could help reduce CO2 emissions and support the energy transition.
New Polish neutron facility in the MARIA reactor for research into modern cancer therapy
05-03-2026
The National Centre for Nuclear Research is launching new infrastructure enabling irradiation with a thermal neutron beam in the MARIA research reactor. This is an important step towards the development of an innovative method of cancer treatment – boron neutron capture therapy, which allows cancer cells to be destroyed more precisely while protecting healthy tissues.
Physicists from NCBJ and IAEA explain the mystery of heavy nuclei fission
04-03-2026
Physicists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research and the International Atomic Energy Agency have carried out some of the most detailed calculations on the fission of heavy atomic nuclei. The results of the research help to better understand the stability of the heaviest elements and can be used in modelling nuclear reactions. The article was published on 4 March 2026 in the journal Physical Review C.
