Czech scientists have received a US patent for their discovery that a polycrystalline-diamond coating can significantly protect fuel rods against corrosion during both normal reactor operation and accidents. Researchers from the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University (CTU CIIRC) and the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (FZU AV ČR) obtained an EU patent for the technology in April last year.

Having the US patent in addition to this means they now have access to the market of largest number of nuclear reactors in the world , CTU CIIRC said. All 94 nuclear reactors in operation in the USA, and the two under construction, will be able to use this patented method of protecting the surface of fuel rods from corrosion, which will extend the life of fuel rods under both emergency and standard conditions, it added.
The perils of governing without a majority were very nearly cruelly exposed in the Czech Republic when MPs voted against extending a coronavirus-related state of emergency.
It would have meant bars, restaurants and cafes reopening, the end of a nighttime curfew and a ban on more than two people gathering in public lifted.
But the country s regions rescued the minority government from embarrassment. They asked for the state of emergency to be extended, arguing they did have not enough powers to fight the pandemic. It gave the government the get-out it was looking for.
Czech s COVID crisis is total chaos
