PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC–(ENEWSPF)–May 20, 2013. The U.S. Department of Energy recently joined with the U.S. Embassy in Prague and the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Industry and Trade to complete the transfer of 75 kilograms of fluoride salt from the Department’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to the Czech Nuclear Research Institute Řež for experiments at Řež’s critical test facility. This partnership builds on a strong history of U.S.-Czech energy collaboration and follows President Obama’s speech in Prague in April 2009, where he laid out the importance of international civil nuclear cooperation for the safe, secure, and peaceful use of nuclear energy around the world.
