ANO not to block government- proposed amendment to the Atomic Energy Act

The opposition ANO party will not block the government's amendment to the Atomic Energy Act, which should open the way for the construction of new nuclear units and small modular reactors. Party deputy chair Karel Havlíček said on Tuesday that accelerating the construction of nuclear power plants and modular reactors is a step in the right direction and would help meet the country's climate goals. The lower house is set to discuss the amendment this week.
