SKILLS4NUCLEAR - S4NPartner: Chalmers University of Technology
Provider: EU - Horizon Europe
Annotation: The Skills4Nuclear project aims to address workforce and skill shortages in EU nuclear fission and fusion sectors by establishing a long-term collaborative framework that integrates industry, research and training bodies. Its primary goal is to ensure the safe and efficient use of current and future nuclear technologies, including Small Modular Reactors, by fostering industry-driven workforce development and enhancing capacity-building in nuclear safety, waste management, decommissioning, radiation rotection and medical applications. A key project outcome is the creation of a European Forum for Nuclear Workforce and Skills, which will monitor workforce needs, identify emerging skills gaps and continuously update training programs. This forum will serve as a central body ensuring Europe maintains skilled nuclear workforce capable of meeting future challenges. Collaboration of industry and educational institutions will ensure that training curricula are aligned with the latest technological dvancements and safety standards. The project also includes the development of a Nuclear Skills Strategy, a multi-annual roadmap guiding efforts to attract, retrain, upskill and reskill professionals for the nuclear sector. The strategy will promote a fair shift to nuclear energy, prioritizing diversity, inclusion and gender balance. A pilot action based on this strategy will be implemented in Poland. Another significant outcome is the implementation of reskilling and upskilling programs enabling workers from other industries, such as fossil fuels, to transition into nuclear roles. These programs will prepare the workforce for advanced technologies like SMRs and fusion with a strong focus on safety and innovation. The project will also develop a series of ecommendations and tools aimed at attracting more people to the nuclear sector. This will include broad range of tools which will be tested via a small pilot project and then made available to the wider nuclear communities.

Development of Methods for Radionuclides Separation and MeasurementProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: This project is focused on the development and optimization of methods for the separation and determination of both anthropogenic and natural radionuclides, mainly those produced in the nuclear facilities, or radionuclides important for the study of superheavy elements. Optimization of the methods used is necessary for detection and separation of these radionuclides. It can increase separation efficiency and selectivity, which reduces the amount of radioactive waste generated and improves the overall economy of the process. Novel methods that implement more advanced procedures and chemicals are also frequently more environmentally friendly. The pre-separation and preparation of the samples is also an important factor in radionuclides determination, in both nuclear forensic analysis and environment monitoring.

The methods developed in this project will include decontamination of nuclear facilities, fission products and minor actinoids separation, determination of difficult-to-measure radionuclides with accelerator mass spectroscopy (AMS) and the study of properties of superheavy elements homologues. The decontamination will be aimed at optimizing previously developed system for the decontamination of steam generator of Czech light-water reactors. The separation of fission products and minor actinoids will include their electrodeposition and liquid-liquid extraction using novel extracting agents and ionic liquids. The determination of low-concentration radionuclides, of both anthropogenic and natural source, that can be used to monitor geological processes or human activity, will be studied using AMS. For the determination of element composition, a system for Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) will be assembled. Separation methods for preparation and detection of superheavy elements, whose lifetimes and production rates are relatively low, are developed using suitable homologues. In this project, electrochemical methods and microfluidic extraction will be st

Development of a method for the identification of the origin of natural uranium by the determination of ultralow concentrations of U-236Provider: TA ČR - THÉTA 2
Annotation: The project aims at the development and practical implementation of methods for the detection of trace amounts of nuclear materials and the determination of their origin by analyzing ultra-trace concentrations of U-236 and other nuclides. The new methods will enable state authorities to effectively detect releases of nuclear materials into the environment during their use, storage, transport and thus strengthen nuclear safety and safeguards.
The methods will be based on a combination of accelerator mass spectrometry with other analytical methods allowing the detection of U-236 at the ultra-trace levels required for determining the anthropogenic origin of materials with enrichment close to natural uranium and low concentrations of U-236, besides the determination of all key uranium isotope

Development of terbium-161 labeled biomolecules as theranostic tools in nuclear medicinePartner: FAF UK
Provider: Ministry of Health - Medical Research
Annotation: Selected radionuclides in connection with appropriate biomolecules have been successfully employed for targeted radiodiagnostics or radiotherapy in nuclear medicine. Several radioisotopes are under study as potentially new radiotracers employable for molecular imaging or targeted radiotherapy of cancer. The application of the radiolabeled biomolecules in oncology is based on targeting of specific receptors playing important role in carcinogenesis. Cellular proliferation, differentiation, invasion, and metastasis are supported by epidermal growth factor receptor type ErbB1 and its ligands, while nutrition support of proliferating tumour is secured by angiogenesis. Angiogenic process is managed by many ligands and receptors like vascular endothelial growth factor receptor type 2 (VEGFR 2) or endoglin (CD105). Targeting of the receptors with monoclonal antibodies have been employed in oncology using radionuclides such as lutetium 177. However, application of lutetium 177 is associated with some limitations. As an alternative radiolabel, terbium-161 is considered. The aim of this study is to develop terbium-161 preparation from nuclear reactor material as well as to prepare and compare 161Tb- and 177Lu labelled forms of three monoclonal antibodies targeting VEGFR 2, CD105 or ErbB1. The investigation will include radiopharmaceutical evaluation and biological testing of the prepared radioimmunoconjugates in vitro and in vivo including experimental tumour mice models targeting.

Fuel Recycle and Experimentally Demonstrated Manufacturing of Advanced Nuclear Solutions for Safety - FREDMANS web
Partner: Chalmers University of Technology
Provider: EU - Horizon Europe
Annotation: FREDMANS aims to increase safety and efficiency in both nuclear power production as well as the recycling of spent fuel. Changing from oxide fuel to a more fissile dense material with higher thermal conductivity can enhance both safety of operation and the economic impact of nuclear power. At the same time, a transition to a greener society with respect to both the generation and usage of electricity will drastically increase consumption of finite materials. Generation is predicted to increase by 16-20 times, in particular as electrification replaces the direct use of fossil fuels for heating and transportation. The nuclear industry can mitigate their part of the resource use through the recycling of spent nuclear fuel. This can enhance the actual power output by about 20 times. However, today there has been no full industrial demonstration of the complete recycling of nuclear fuel, although one time recycling, including of plutonium, has been used on large scale for many years e.g. in France.
The model fuel is nitride fuel. It may be more energy efficient/economically advantageous to recycle not only the fissile material, but also the required isotopically enriched N-15 that is otherwise currently a costly raw material. The project sets objectives that address the overall goals of the SET plan, SNETP and EERA JPNM SRA to answer the specific aims of this call relating to the safety of advanced fuels and their recyclability, in particular nitrides highlighted in the call. We will prove that advanced fuels are a viable option for industrial use that can enhance the safety, sustainability and economics of nuclear power operation. The work packages are: Advanced Manufacturing, Recyclability, Waste Management, and Industrial Applications. Across all these WPs, the crucial aspect of safety is held in high focus.As the real safety of future nuclear systems is achieved through well educated people, an extensive Training & Education work package is included

Otoacoustic emissions in normal cochlea and cochlea with endolymphatic hydrops: modeling and experimentsProvider: GA ČR
Annotation: This international project is focused on Meniere’s disease (MD), which is a kind of acute sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) that affects 20-40 per 100,000 people. The cause of MD might be complicated, but increasing pressure in the cochlear endolymph, called endolymphatic hydrops (ELH), is presumably the main factor. Over the last few years, physiological experiments in guinea pigs found that ELH could produce disorders typical of MD. However, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), namely acoustic signals coming from the [inner] ear, tell a puzzling story; some types of OAEs indeed have reduced signal levels in ELH-affected cochlea or in human ears diagnosed with MD, but other types of OAEs remain unaffected. Inspired by these new and puzzling findings, the aims of this project include (1) to model the physiology of ELH computationally and simulate how it affects hearing in different ways; (2) to model OAEs from ELH affected ears, and (3) to compare OAE predictions from the computer model with actual OAE data that will be collected from human subjects, under both normal and pathological conditions.

Interaction of radionuclides with cement materials in the presence of organic substancesProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: In connection with the storage of nuclear waste mainly from nuclear power plants but also other sources, it is important to study the migration behavior of critical radionuclides in the engineering barriers of the repository i.e., in compacted bentonite and hydrated cement, or concrete respectively, and at the interface of these barriers. In sorption and diffusion experiments focused on this issue the emphasis will be placed on sorbing radionuclides 233U, 152Eu and stable Pb. Furthermore, the issue will be extended with the study of migration of critical radionuclides in the presence of organic substances and transport of organic form of radioactive contaminants in barrier materials. For cement materials, the research focuses on the individual pure phases forming these highly heterogenous substances. Modeling in the GoldSim software environment will be used for the theoretical description of interaction experiments, while emphasis will be placed also on the development of sorption and diffusion description methods.

Preparation of medicinal radionuclides and radiolabelling of biomolecules for targeted diagnostics and therapyProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: Targeted diagnostics and therapy are driving force of contemporary nuclear medicine. Among the main building blocks of the fast development of this area of nuclear medicine belong preparation of new potential medicinal radionuclides and research of new targeting vectors. In this project, possibilities of easier access to new emerging medicinal radionuclides from the group of alpha and Auger electron emitters such as Bi-213 and Tb-161 as well as possibilities of targeting vectors, such as biomolecules targeting folate receptors or monoclonal antibodies targeting HER2 receptors, modification in order to be radiolabelled by radiometals, such as Ac-225, Bi-213, Tb-161, Lu-177 or Ga-68, will be studied. The project will also pay attention to conjugation of studied proteins and monoclonal antibodies with nanoparticles.

Efficient Low-energy Electron Cancer Therapy with Terbium-161 - ELECTTRA - ELECTTRAPartner: ÚMCH AV ČR, IFE Norsko, Nordic Nanovector, Oslo University Hospital, CVŘ
Provider: TA ČR - KAPPA
Annotation: Main aim of the project is the development of novel materials based on Terbium-161 and its novel targeting vectors for targeted therapy of tumor diseases. The advantage of Tb-161 is in the emission of low energy electrons followed by gamma radiation allowing SPECT imaging and therapy follow-up. Thus it should be possible to target single cancer cells, micrometastases and small tumors, particularly in early stages of diseases to increase the treatment efficiency. Project results include not only the isotope Tb-161 itself in relevant quantities, but also novel targeting molecules (see project result). Collaboration between the Czech and Norway highly experienced partners in the research, development and commercialization of the results have all prerequisites to reach the proposed results.

PRE-DISposal management of radioactive waste - PREDIS web
Partner: 48 partners from 18 countries
Provider: EU - Horizon 2020
Annotation: The PREDIS project targets the development and implementation of activities for pre-disposal treatment of radioactive waste streams other than nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Member States will profit from measurable benefits including the further development and increase in Technological Readiness Level of treatment and conditioning methodologies for wastes for which no adequate or industrially mature solutions are currently available, including metallic material (WP4), liquid organic waste (WP5) and solid organic waste (WP6), and by testing and evaluating innovations in cemented waste handling and pre-disposal storage (WP7). These technical Work Packages align with priorities formulated within the Roadmap Theme 2 of EURAD and with those identified by the project’s industrial End Users Group (EUG), and follow the 50% co-funding principle. Furthermore, PREDIS will produce tools guiding decision-making on the added value of the developed technologies and their impact on the design, safety and economics of waste management and disposal (WP2).

PREDIS will also liaise with EURAD to provide complementarity on areas including the adaptation and update of the reference founding documents of the EJP (vision, roadmap, governance and implementation mechanisms) (WP2), and the organisation of training courses and mobility training schemes to enhance sharing and transfer of knowledge and competences as part of knowledge management activities (WP3). The PREDIS consortium, which includes 47 partners from 18 Member States, and EUG, which specifically targets Radioactive Waste Producers (RWP) as a separate group within the radioactive waste management process. PREDIS also encompasses the wider European Community, allowing cross-fertilisation and interaction between different national programmes. Numerous dissemination activities (WP1), including with Nugenia, IAEA and NEA, will be undertaken to maximize PREDIS’s impact to all the identified Stakeholders in the field

Scintillating Porous Architectures for RadioacTivE gas detection - SPARTE - SPARTEPartner: Institut Lumiere Matiere
Provider: EU - Horizon 2020
Annotation: Radioactive gases are key targets for the environment, making gas monitoring an important issue. SPARTE will focus on the detection and activity measurement metrology of tracers related to nuclear activities. In this respect, the detection of 85Kr, 133Xe, 3H, 37Ar, being all beta emitter or electron capture radionuclides, is targeted. SPARTE will implement and achieve a radically novel radioactive gas detection and radioactivity metrology, by introducing highly porous scintillating aerogels and/or Metal-Organic Frameworks designed to dramatically extend gas-matter interaction for effective detection through scintillation. These materials after development and optimization will combine an efficient, fast and isotropic scintillation ensuring homogeneous 3D response and high sensitivity for metrology.
The goal will be to realize functional solid-based sensors generating a close intermixing between the sensor and the analyte and to combine efficiency and homogeneity. Major breakthroughs are foreseen: a calibration method for low activity range of 85Kr and 133Xe, a real time detection system of for some noble gas and 3H with a significantly improved sensitivity in an easy deployable system, a detector for 37Ar. SPARTE consortium proposes a unique combination of competences aimed at succeeding in the difficult task of pioneering a new technology track, from sensor as porous scintillator to critical radioactive gas detection and metrology method development. It covers the six critical skills - i.e. aerogels and MOFs scintillating monolith preparation, structural and scintillation characterization, ionizing radiation detection and its modeling – needed to reach our goals. The consortium combines 4 leading research centers and 2 SMEs around 3 core expertises - processing, characterization and metrology - also encompassing the industrial perspective, in order to create the interdisciplinary “substrate” necessary for a successful outcome of the project.

Development of separation systems for analytical, decontamination, and speciation methods.Provider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: The project is focused on techniques of separation and determination of an anthropogenic and natural radionuclides. These methods can be applied in high variety of areas, especially in environmental analyses, irradiated nuclear fuel management, radionuclide production, or in procedures of their decontamination and decommissioning, as well as in studies of natural processes or chemical properties of the heaviest elements.
Research and development in advanced separation methods enables to significantly reduce amounts of radioactive waste produced in various nuclear activities and utilization of radionuclides. These techniques are also important part of the analytical methods allowing with higher sensitivity monitoring of the impact of human nuclear activities on the environment and determine the origin and amount of anthropogenic radionuclides, activation and fission products occurring in the nature as a result of the global fallout caused by nuclear weapons testing, nuclear accidents or general emissions from reprocessing facilities.
As majority of nuclides used for analytical applications occur in environment in very low concentrations, it is necessary to concentrate and separate them from the natural matrix in order to remove possible interferents. In the case of chemical behaviour studies of radionuclides in various matrices, but also in the study of chemical properties of transactinoids, separation methods are key aspects of such studies determining the existing speciation or directly using it. In the above mentioned cases the subsequent detection methods and their selection play additional major role with their range, selectivity and sensitivity, and proper output from the previous separation steps.
The research and development of separation methods realised within this project includes determination techniques of ultra-trace radionuclides in natural samples by using isotope analysis methods, particularly accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), optimization and c

Augmented Cooperation in Education and Training in Nuclear and Radiochemistry web
Partner: 17 partnerů ze 13 zemí
Provider: EU - Horizon 2020
Annotation: Expertise in nuclear and radiocExpertise in nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC) is of strategic relevance in the nuclear energy sector and in many vital applications. The need for radiochemistry expertise will even increase as the focus shifts from safe nuclear power plant operation to decontamination and decommissioning, waste management and environmental monitoring. The non-energy fields of NRC applications are even much broader ranging from life sciences – radiopharmaceuticals, radiological diagnostics and therapy – through dating in geology and archaeology, (nuclear) forensics and safeguards operations, to radiation protection and radioecology.
The A-CINCH project primarily addresses the loss of the young generation's interest for nuclear knowledge by focusing on secondary / high school students and teachers and involving them by the “Learn through Play” concept. This will be achieved by bringing advanced educational techniques such as state-of the art 3D virtual reality NRC laboratory, Massive Open Online Courses, RoboLab distance operated robotic experiments, Interactive Screen Experiments, NucWik database of teaching materials, or Flipped Classroom, into the NRC education. All the new and existing tools wrapped-up around the A-CINCH HUB – a user-friendly and easy-to-navigate single point of access – will contribute increasing the number of students and trainees in the field of nuclear and radiochemistry. Nuclear awareness will be further increased by the High School Teaching Package, Summer Schools for high school students, Teach the Teacher package and many others. Additionally, successful educational and training tools from previous projects will be continued and further developed.
Networking is an important part of the project, facilitated by having ENEN as one of the partners and by having structural links with other Euratom projects, the EuChemS, the NRC-Network as well as by additional links with other end users and stakeholders including the high schools.

Separation of radionuclides for targeted alpha particle therapy - TATRAD - TATRADProvider: TA ČR - ZÉTA
Annotation: The main aim of the project is to significantly improve the current existing product Ac-225/Bi-213 radionuclide generator. The most important problem in the current solutions of Ac-225/Bi-213 generator problematics, regarding the radiotoxicity of Ac-225 and its decay products, is the radiation stability of the used stationary phase, which is not sufficient in the case of organic cation exchangers and limits the generator life. The sorbent developed in this project should minimize this problem. The sorbent materials envisaged for this project are a) innorganic ion exchangers - namely titanium, tin, zirconium and cerium oxides, and b) diglycolamide type extraction agents. All of these materials exhibit high radiation stability. In addition, the final sorbent should be a composite of the active agent and the polyacrylonitrile matrix in the form of spherical particles, which is material with radiation stability up to doses of 1000 kGy. Mentioned oxide nanomaterials have not been used in the separation of Ac-225/Bi-213 yet, but they are widely used in commercial generator systems such as Ge-68/Ga-68 radionuclide generator. Another advantage is their wide range of heat processing. In the case of diglycolamides, their use in the separation of trivalent elements from the environment or in the treatment of spent nuclear fuel and their use in medicine in the separation of Ra-223 and the quality control of Ra-223 by paper chromatography is known. The solution of the project will also give composite sorbents with better properties for use in the separation of medical radionuclides, but also in environmental protection management.

Annotation: The main aim of the presented project is to obtain pure Tb-161 and possibly change the way of its preparation from a nuclear reactor to cyclotron for radiolabelling purposes of chosen compounds for nuclear medicine. This includes excitation function measurement and based on them, preparation of thick target system suitable for irradiation. Subsequently, it is necessary to find a suitable separation method of obtaining non-carrier Tb-161 with the highest achievable radionuclidic purity. Moreover, possible radiolabelling procedures will be studied in terms of this project. Molecules suitable for radionuclide therapy such as PSMA or nanoparticles will be chosen to be tested. Obtained Tb-161 from cyclotron will be analytically and economically compared with Tb-161 obtained from a nuclear reactor.

Ultra-trace isotope research in social and environmental studies using accelerator mass spectrometry - RAMSES web
Partner: ÚJF AV ČR, AÚ AV ČR
Provider: EU - OPVV
Annotation: Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), the most powerful technique for determination of ultra-trace levels of isotopes (with detection limits of up to 6 orders of magnitude lower compared to decay counting), is still missing in the Czech Republic, although it provides means for excellent research in a variety of scientific and technological disciplines. Thus, data on ultra-trace levels of isotopes can only be obtained in a limited extent in AMS laboratories abroad. To overcome this gap a new AMS laboratory will be established to extend the large research infrastructure of Centre of Accelerator and Nuclear Analytical Methods (CANAM) at NPI under the RAMSES project. The new infrastructure will concentrate on research using 14C including both radiocarbon dating and industrial activities, actinide research focused on sources of actinides and their behaviour in the environment including nuclear fission activities, and cosmogenic radionuclides, where mainly 10Be and 26Al will be used as radiometric clocks for time scale of the environmental events in the earlier Quaternary period and as unique tools for age determination of meteorites. Thus, the objective of the project is to enable and perform multidisciplinary research, enlarge the research topics possible to investigate by the establishment of the new AMS laboratory, which will comprise a reconstruction of a building at NPI ground in Řež to house a medium type AMS accelerator (with terminal voltage of up to 1MV) and new laboratories. Next step will be acquiring of the existing procedures for sample (target) preparation for AMS determination of 14C, other cosmogenic radionuclides, namely 10Be and 26Al, and selected actinides. The procedures acquired and/or amended will be used for multidisciplinary applications as given above. In order to accomplish all the above goals, the AMS laboratory will cooperate with four renowned AMS laboratories abroad, which will serve as strategic partners of the project.

Partner: Norwegian University of Life Sciences

Annotation: The objective of this initiative is to establish a bilateral collaboration between the “Centre for Environmental Radioactivity (CERAD)” of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and the Department of Nuclear Chemistry of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (DNC) of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). The collaborative topic to be addressed by this bilateral initiative is “Improved skills and competences of students and academics in application AMS within radioecology” where AMS stands for the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. The main target group addressed by the project are Ph.D. and master students and teaching staff of the programme “Nuclear chemistry” at the CTU in Prague and Ph.D. and master students and teaching staff of the programme "Radioecology" at the NMBU As. These target groups will profit from the complementarity of knowledge, skills, aims and resources that has been the focal point around which this bilateral initiative has been built. In addition to NMBU and CTU students and teachers mentioned above, participation of aditional students / (young) researchers from other Czech institutions in the course given by the CERAD group in Prague is expected. The total expected number of participants in the initiative is rather high – it should not be lower than 47 people (lower estimate). The activities proposed include running a seminar / short course on the “Applications of AMS within radioecology and environmental radioactivity” by the CERAD group in Prague, hosting several CTU in Prague students at CERAD for short period to take part in the NMBU KJM351 “Experimental radioecology" course, hosting several CERAD students / trainees in Prague to take part in a short-term training of the work in radiochemical laboratories, and a final visit of CTU in Prague teachers for a seminar at As aimed at getting acquainted in more detail with the facilities and more detailed definition of the follow-up collaboration.

Migration processes in the environment of engineering barriers of the deep geological repository.Provider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: In connection with the storage of nuclear waste from nuclear power plants, it is important to study the migration behavior of critical radionuclides in the environment of planned engineering barriers in the deep geological repository, i.e. in compacted bentonite and hydrated cement, or concrete respectively, and at the interface of these barriers. In sorption and diffusion experiments focused on this issue emphasis will be placed on sorbing species of radionuclides, in cationic forms e.g. Ra2+, Cs+ and Sr2+, in anionic Cl-. The issue will be extended to the study of migration of critical radionuclides in the presence of organic substances and the transport of organic forms of radioactive contaminants in barrier materials. For cement materials, the research also focuses on the individual pure phases from which these highly heterogeneous substances are formed. Modeling in the PHREEQC and GoldSim programs will be used for the theoretical description of the interaction experiments for. Furthermore, the methods of evaluation of sorption and diffusion experiments will be developed, especially in the environment relevant for deep geological repository.

Preparation and Evaluation of Radionuclide Nanocarriers for Nuclear MedicineProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: Nowadays, there are many diverse fields for use of nanomaterials. They are used e.g. as carriers in nuclear medicine, as sorbents of radionuclides in nuclear waste processing or in fotovoltaics. Some nanomaterials have strong ability to bind various radionuclides or rebound products of radioactive decay and so prevent from their release to environment. This quality is of special relevance in nuclear medicine. For example in case of so called in vivo radionuclide generators where cascade of radioactive decays occurs or in case of theranostics where one carrier binds both diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides at the same time.

GEN IV Integrated Oxide fuels recycling strategies - GENIORSProvider: EU - Horizon 2020
Annotation: The current open nuclear fuel cycle uses only a few percent of the energy contained in uranium. This efficiency can be
greatly improved through the recycling of spent fuel (as done today in France for instance), including, in the longer term,
multi-recycling strategies to be deployed in fast reactors. In this context, GENIORS addresses research and innovation in
fuel cycle chemistry and physics for the optimisation of fuel design in line with the strategic research and innovation agenda
and deployment strategy of SNETP, notably of its ESNII component. GENIORS focuses on reprocessing and fuel
manufacture of MOX fuel potentially containing minor actinides, which would be reference fuel for the ASTRID and
ALFREDO demonstrators.
More specifically, GENIORS will carry out research and innovation for developing compatible techniques for dissolution,
reprocessing and manufacturing of innovative oxide fuels, potentially containing minor actinides, in a “fuel to fuel” approach
taking into account safety issues under normal and mal-operation. It also considers the impacts of these strategies on the
interim storage. For delivering a full picture of a MOX fuel cycle, GENIORS will work in close collaboration with the INSPYRE
project on oxide fuels performance.
By implementing a three step approach (reinforcement of the scientific knowledge => process development and testing =>
system studies, safety and integration), GENIORS will lead to the provision of more science-based strategies for nuclear fuel
management in the EU.
It will allow nuclear energy to contribute significantly to EU energy independence. In the longer term, it will facilitate the
management of ultimate radioactive waste by reducing its volume and radio-toxicity.
At the longer term, a better understanding of a spent nuclear properties and behavior, at each step of the cycle will increase
the safety of installations for interim storage during normal operation but also hypothetical accident scenarios.

Advanced separation techniques for radionuclides.Provider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: This project is focused on the study of advanced separation techniques for radionuclides. These techniques are the main tool to study and reduce the environmental impact of human nuclear activities. Among these impacts, production of nuclear waste in power generation but also in institutional nuclear activities like mining of uranium ores, production of new nuclear fuel, reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel or operating and decommissioning of nuclear installations after exceeding their service life-time or after a failure. This is why this project focuses on research and development of new separation techniques, processes and materials for separation of radionuclides from the actinoids group and activation or fission products facilitating minimization of nuclear waste. These processes include e.g. new decontamination techniques, separations of lanthanoids and actinoids using microfluidic systems and liquid-liquid extraction. Microfluidic extraction will be further used to study behaviour of homologues of transactinoids and for identification of extractants with fast kinetics substances usable for this purposes. The next part of this study will be focused on the influence of radiolysis on extracting systems with BisTriazinylPhenantroline (BTPhen) and BisTriazinylBiPyridine (BTBP) extractants and new alternative solvents enabling suppression of the radiolysis effect. Our research will be further focusing on application and development of new separation techniques for difficult-to-measure radionuclides enabling their determination by ultrasensitive analytic methods. This part of project is related to determination of the impact of human nuclear activity on the environment; further it provides feedback for identification of problematic radionuclides and their suitable separation strategies. This project will be further developing the results obtained in project SGS-OHK4-017/15 - Partitioning of selected radionuclides in advanced nuclear fuel cycles.

A Modular European Education and Training Concept In Nuclear and RadioCHemistry - MEET-CINCHProvider: EU - Horizon 2020
Annotation: In order to maintain European nuclear operations, expertise in nuclear and radiochemistry (NRC) is of strategic relevance. Besides the obvious needs of NRC skills in the context of nuclear power and assessment of disposal options for nuclear waste there are many other applications. This includes radiologic diagnostics and therapy, unthinkable without radiopharmaceutical chemistry, dating in geology and archaeology, (nuclear) forensics and safeguard operations, radiation protection including radioecological assessments of releases and legacies and last but not least basic research e.g. on super heavy elements. The MEET-CINCH project will counteract the massive lack of NRC expertise by three actions. A teaching package for high schools and a MOOC on NRC for general public are built in order to attract young persons to the NRC field and convey them its fascination and relevance. Two additional actions focus on vocational training and (university) education. MEET-CINCH will develop completely new education and training approaches based on remote teaching and the flipped classroom concept including and further developing material generated in the CINCH I and CINCH II projects, such as the NucWik platform and the remote controlled RoboLab experiments. MEET-CINCH will provide ECVET course modules in an e-Shop adapted to the needs of end-users which have been surveyed in the previous projects. After the end of MEETCINCH the e-shop will be continuously operated by the NRC-network as part of a sustainable European Fission Training
Scheme (EFTS). The consortium includes 13 partners from ten European member states; both academia and nuclear laboratories are
represented. All partners are experienced in conducting training and education. Networking on national and European level will be an important part of the project, facilitated by having ENEN as one of the partners and by having structural links with other Euratom projects, the EuCheMS DNRC and the NRC-network.

New multistage nanodiagnostics for cancer imaging and prediction of antiangiogenic therapy efficacyProvider: Ministry of Health - Medical Research
Annotation: Development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools for cancer applications represents the top priority of the contemporary pharmaceutical research. The principial aim of the project is the deveĺopment of conceptually new two-staged nanoradiodiagnostics for the noninvasive Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect-based imaging of solid tumors to improve care about oncological patients and enable to personalize therapy of solid tumors. We will also prove on an in vivo murine cancer model whether this system has predictive value for further treatment efficacy with antiangiogenic therapy with bevacizumab. The system will allow to combine relatively short half-life radionuclides 18-F and 99m-Tc (well established in diagnostics and with low whole-body radiation burden for the patient) with the EPR effect, which works best after longer time not directly compatible with half-life of these radionuclides.

Study of Speciation, Complexation and Migration of Critical RadionuclidesProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: The study of speciation of critical radionuclides which are part of spent nuclear fuel has essential impact on their future fate. This project is aimed at the speciation of uranium in low concentrations under the conditions of spent nuclear fuel, the complexation of europium as an analogue of americium and at the migration behaviour of other critical radionuclides which are part of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level wastes. In the study of uranium speciation and europium complexation the method of Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLFS) will be used while for the theoretical analyses the modelling in PHREEQC program will be applied. The project furthermore deals with the migration behaviour of critical radionuclides in the environment of compacted bentonite and hydrated cement and at their interface. The methods used will be sorption and diffusion experiments. The scope will be focused on the sorbing species, e.g. Sr, Cs or Ra. Finally, considerable part of the project will be also application and development of evaluation methods of sorption and diffusion experiments.

Partitioning of Selected Radionuclides in Advanced Nuclear Fuel CyclesProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: In the project, separation of selected radionuclides presented in irradiated nuclear fuel will be studied. The radionuclides partitioning is important with respect to irradiated nuclear fuel reprocessing and closing of nuclear fuel cycles in the nuclear reactors of IVth generation. In the first part, the partitioning of trivalent minor actinoids from lanthanoids will be studied by using microfluidic techniques and the methods of solvent extraction. The next part will study the influence of radiolysis (accelerated electrons or gamma radiation) on extracting systems of BTBP or BTPhen extracting compounds. The extraction properties of determined degradation products will be tested too. As a part of the development of the nuclear fuel with inert matrix, polishing of isotopically tailored molybdenum - one of the candidates for the inert metallic matrix - will be investigated, namely the separation of technetium from the molybdenum solutions. The mentioned studied issues continue in solving the chemical problems studied within the grant no GS12/199/OHK4/3T/14 named Chemical Aspects of Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycles Development.

Advanced Methods of Inorganic Materials SynthesisProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: Nanopowder materials (such as simple and mixed oxides - synthetic garnets, perovskites, etc.) will be prepared by UV and ionizing radiations. The nanomaterials will be prepared either pure or doped with foreign ions.
Radiation method provides materials of high purity, with narrow particle size distribution and high level of interaction among constituents. The preparation method of these materials is based on irradiation of aqueous solutions containing metal ions, OH radicals scavengers and stabilizers. Formed nanopowders will be calcined and thoroughly characterized. Basic properties of these materials regarding potential applications will be addressed.
Obtained results will enrich the knowledge and understanding of mechanisms of radiation induced formation of solid phase in aqueous solutions. Selected materials whose radiation preparation has been only scarcely reported in literature have a high application potential as scintillating nanoparticles in photodynamic therapy in cancer treatment, or scintillators based on transparent optical ceramics. Last but not least, the aim of the proposed project is a novel radiation preparation of fuels for nuclear reactors.

Aims of the project can be summarized as follows:
- Radiation synthesis of nanopowders materials and their doping by foreign ions
- Characterization of prepared solid phase and systematic study of thermal treatment effects
- Luminescence and scintillation characteristics of nanoparticles with respect to technological parameters
- Modification of selected materials for target applications

Proposed project follows the three-year project SGS11/163/OHK4/3T/14 named: "Photo- and Radiation-induced Synthesis of Inorganic Materials". On account of the success of the research team in last years (numerous presentations at prestigious international conferences, articles in impacted journals, patent and prototype), the composition of the team remains almost unchanged.

Účinky extrémního ultrafialového laserového záření na modelové biomembrány a povrch živých buněkProvider: GA ČR
Annotation: The project is based on the fact of strong interaction of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation with matter. A short attenuation length of this high-LET radiation in living matter makes possible a highly eficient, localized irradiation of two-dimensional cell structures, i.e., biological membranes and their artificial models. We intend to study a response of model bi-lipidic membranes and real cell surfaces to nanosecond pulses of XUV radiation emitted by repetition, table-top capillary-discharge laser (CDL). The damage initiated by the strongly absorbed (a typical attenuation length of 46,9-nm radiation does not exceed tens of nanometers in living matter), high-LET XUV radiation will be compared with the effect of low-LET gamma radiation delivered from a conventional radionuclide source. A particular role of the direct and indirect actions in radiation damage to biomembranes can be evaluated in this way. The project helps to estimate and utilize a specific application potential of the 10-Hz table-top XUV CDL source in molecular radiation biophysics and radiobiology of the cell.

Ra-226 recycling and Ac-227 applications - RADIACTProvider: TA ČR - ALFA
Annotation: The aim of this project is to research and develop technologies for economical exploitation, reprocessing and recycling of historical inventories of Ra-226 sources (natural radionuclide of actinium decay series, halflife 1600 years), its valorization by irradiation in a nuclear reactor and production of radionuclides with better physico-chemical properties (namelly Ac-227 / Ra-223) together with verification of the quality of the products for final use and applications. Special sealed gas-tight capsule will be designed and developed for the reactor irradiations. Irradiation will mainly produce radionuclides (e.g. Ac-227, Th-228, Ra-223) with halflives several orders of magnitude shorter compared to Ra-226, therefore the Ra-226 reprocessing would benefit from increase in radiation safety and partial elimination of an ecological problem with Ra-226 permanent disposal (otherwise nuclear waste). This project is also focused on a research of novel radionuclide generator Ac-227/ Ra-223 construction and development. Such produced radionuclides may be further used in many fields of science, industry and healthcare, e.g. Ra-223 in nuclear medicine for highly-effective targeted radionuclide therapy of bone metastases, Ac-227 as a source of intense ionizing radiation for the construction of radionuclide batteries (electri

Advanced fuleS for Generation IV reActors: Reprocessing and Dissolution - ASGARDProvider: EU - 7.RP EU
Annotation: Nuclear power issues have been attracting research interest for decades even since the actual use of power reactors using oxide fuels was considered a mature science. It has mainly been due to one of the great drawbacks of nuclear power, the waste handling. Presently, there is a renaissance in nuclear power research focused on a new generation of reactor concepts utilising more of the inherent energy of the fuels. Additionally, these new concepts will also produce less radioactive waste, which is radiotoxic for a shorter time frame. If such concept succeeds, nuclear power can be considered almost sustainable bearing in mind that the waste we already have generated may be used for next generations. In order to reach these goals, there are several issues to be considered and the future nuclear fuel is one of the most important ones. ASGARD project will conduct crosscutting studies in synergy with the current nuclear fuel and waste research projects in Europe (e.g. ACSEPT and FAIRFUELS projects), but will also extend further into the research on new innovative nuclear concepts (SFR-Prototype, MYRRHA). ASGARD will provide a structured R&D framework for developing compatible techniques for dissolution, reprocessing and manufacturing of new nuclear fuels. The fuels to be considered will mainly consist of the next generation of fuels, e.g. oxides, nitrides and carbides, since the current oxide fuels and their reprocessing is dealt within already existing projects. An educational programme will be implemented to share the knowledge between students, researchers in the fuel manufacturing and the fuel reprocessing communities. The challenging objectives of ASGARD will be addressed by a multi-disciplinary consortium composed of European universities, nuclear research bodies and major industrial stakeholders. ASGARD will be an essential contribution to the development of new sustainable nuclear fuel cycle concepts and thus pave the road to more sustainable nuclear future.

Photo- and Radiation-induced Synthesis of Inorganic MaterialsProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: The aim of the proposed project is to obtain new data on unconventional radiation- and photo-induced preparation of nano-sized metals, oxides and inorganic composite materials. Although the papers dealing with radiation preparation of metal nanoparticles are quite numerous, radiation-induced syntheses of nano-sized oxides or more complex inorganic materials are rather scarce, yet. These materials may be used in the nuclear fuel cycle, detection and dosimetry of radiation or heterogeneous catalysis.
Physico-chemical properties of nano-sized and bulk materials may differ considerably. Moreover, the preparative method affects chemical purity of materials, crystallite size, stoichiometry, specific surface area, amount of active centres of catalysts, colour, etc. Radiation-induced synthesis has some advantages over common chemical methods (e.g. sol-gel, co-precipitation): the reaction proceeds at room temperature, the whole process is fast and flexible.

Separation of Actinoids from Spent Fuel Reprocessing Solution and Their Conversion to OxidesProvider: CTU - SGS
Annotation: The project proposed deals with separation of actinoids from spent fuel reprocessing solution and their conversion to oxides, starting material appropriate for preparation of advanced reactor fuels or transmutation targets, and focuses on four areas. Decontamination of organic phase after actinoids extraction from transition metals will be carried out by inorganic sorbents (manganese dioxide, activated carbon etc.) or ion exchangers dedicated for use in organic media (amberlysts). For separation of curium from americium, the method of extraction chromatography with no preoxidation of americium will be investigated. BTBP compounds embedded in a support by impregnation or covalent bond will be used as extraction agents, various complexing agents will be used for the elution. For the study of actinoids conversion from solution to oxides, the infiltration method, infiltration of actinoids into PAN beads with one or two extraction agents embedded, will be tested.

Nuclear-Chemical Methods in Analysis of Wear in Materials. Use for the Study of Hard Tooth Tissue AbrasionProvider: GA ČR
Annotation: The main concept consists. in the development of the quantitative nuclear chemical radio tracer method for determining the wear measure and abrasion of solid objects. The matter is to label thin surface layers with a defined depth distribution of radionuclides by exploiting the recoil phenomena accompanying the alpha decay of natural radionuclides. During alpha decay daughter nuclei are emitted with the recoil energy of 100 keV and they penetrate solids to depths of 10 ug cm2.There.exist suitable combinations of radionuclides of type 226 222 224 220 Ra Rn, Ra- Rn. This phenomenon will be used for the study of hard tooth tissue. The method provides good prospects for studying abrasian, erosion and cavitation damage of metallic andconstruction materials and materials in general.
