Czech-Korean Nuclear
Collaboration Center
About Us
The Czech-Korean Nuclear Collaboration Center (NCC) is a support and coordination hub established to strenghten academic and institutional collaboration.
By enhancing education at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, NCC plays an active role in preparing globally connected professionals in nuclear science for the future. It promotes study and research opportunities in Korea, assists Czech students preparing for academic exchange, and provides professional support for visiting Korean scientists and experts.
Through academic events, lectures, and long-term teaching programs, the centre fosters meaningful bilateral initiatives and contributes to the integration of Korean expertise into domestic nuclear education.

Visiting Lecture Series
From November 3 to 7, 2025, Professor Han-Young Yoon, Associate Professor specializing in Thermohydraulics at the Department of NPP Engineering, KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School (KINGS), visited the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU).
Professor Yoon earned his degrees from some of the most prestigious institutions in Asia such Seoul National University (SNU), the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and the University of Tokyo. Over his career, he has worked at leading research and academic institutions, including the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and, most recently, KINGS.
He is a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Award (2018) and the Academic Award of the Korean Nuclear Society (2013). Professor's main research areas include the safety and performance analysis of nuclear reactors and the development of the CUPID code.
During his stay at CTU, Professor Yoon delivered a series of lectures on advanced thermohydraulic analysis of nuclear reactors, offering participants a hands-on introduction to the CUPID code, which is used for 3D simulations of APR1400 and OPR1000 reactors.
The lectures were attended by experts and researchers from the nuclear field, as well as students from CTU. We are delighted by the strong interest and positive feedback from attendees, and we look forward to welcoming Professor Yoon again in the future.
KINGS at the 15th Nuclear Days Conference
This year’s theme, Nuclear Energy and Europe’s Energy Security, attracted distinguished speakers such as Tomáš Ehler (Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, responsible for nuclear energy), Petr Závodský (CEO of Dukovany II Power Plant) or Alois Míka (advisor to KHNP).
KINGS has presented a promotional kiosk where visitors could find out more about the university and its programs. Students could also get more information about this year's admission guidelines and student life, not only from the representatives from KINGS, but also from one of the university’s successful absolvents, Jan Hruškovič, who had been a part of the neighboring kiosk by FNC.
We greatly appreciated the strong interest in our activities and the warm support shown to both KINGS and the newly opened NCC. It was equally rewarding to stand behind our alumni who also presented during the conference.
