Czechoslovakian nuclear power plants were build with the Soviet help by USSR blueprints.
Soviets did not want czechoslovakia to have nuclear power, soviets wanted to be only one enriching, so czechs designed their own - gas cooled one, which did not needed enriched fuel. Wikipedia says "with help of soviets" but wikipedia forgot to say that soviet "input" was reason said reactor had so many problems.
And after that they were forced to use water cooled ones from soviets. But they built every screw in those 5 power plants. 15-20 reactors.
Also currently working plants were progressively updated and electrical output increased by 30 %.
Czechs were last in europe to have uranium mines, some of mines were used as slave labor camps for dissidents / political prisoners (60 000 i think) under soviet occupation (pre1989). They were mining radioactive ore with bare hands and lived in buildings without heating. ( clergy was big part of political prisoner population, connection with clergy man Mendel )

Yeah, that's exactly what is called "propaganda". Just like the movie Tenet starts showing "life" in Russia/USSR where in some "typical Russian city" "typical Russian people" gather pieces of uranium on the streets with their bare hands. Yeah, this is exactly how we live and always lived. /s

" LETHAL POLITICS Chapter 1 61,911,000 Victims: Utopianism Empowered*
By R.J. Rummel
...when we are reproached with cruelty, we wonder how people can forget the most elementary Marxism. ---- Lenin
"How long will you keep killing people?" asked Lady Astor of Stalin in 1931. Replied Stalin, "the process would continue as long as was necessary" to establish a communist society.
Probably 61,911,000 people, 54,769,000 of them citizens, have been murdered by the Communist Party--the government--of the Soviet Union. This is about 178 people for each letter, comma, period, digit, and other characters in this book.

so they killed more than 50 milion of own citizens, neighbors, family etc. But they wont kill political dissidents in country they do not care about in slightest?
Educate yourself.
After Hitler in west, reforms came. After Lenin in east, Stalin came.
One in west was voted into power. Two in east were not. All three murderous mistakes.
Because they do not acknowledge some "situations" like Ukrainian famine, deaths from nuclear tests on people,... as a "intentional" killing ... i.e. 'not their fault'.
*Edit : people => officials
"The Svornost mine (German: Einigkeitschacht) is a deep mine in Jáchymov. It is the oldest uranium mine in the world and the oldest mine still in use in Europe."

And while we're discussing this, are there also undocumented scientists? What if you just have a green card?
I get that they're trying to be welcoming by coining the phrase "citizen scientist", but it seems to open up other debates.

Jozef Murgaš also chaplain, invented and was first person to transmit modulated radio waves (voice), few months before vacuum tube was even invented. Marconi was morsecode, Bell was wired phone.
