Individual tour of the MARIA nuclear research reactor with the Minister of Energy, Miłosz Motyka, and the Director of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, Prof. Jakub Kupecki, as well as a limited-edition LEGO set enabling the assembly of a MARIA reactor model, are among the NCBJ offerings for auction as part of the 34th edition of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. The auctions are available on Allegro as part of the official WOŚP auctions.

The Director of the National Centre for Nuclear Research attended the ceremonial Senate meeting marking the Warsaw University of Technology’s 200th anniversary.

On January 20, 2026, the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) was visited by a delegation from the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), led by the newly appointed Deputy Administrator of the Office of Nuclear Nonproliferation, Dr. Matthew C. Napoli.

The HTGR-POLA high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor, developed by scientists from the National Centre for Nuclear Research, may play a significant role in the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries requiring access to steam and heat at very high temperatures. The completed basic design and advanced safety analyses of the research and demonstration reactor have just been presented in the prestigious journal of the American Nuclear Society, Nuclear Technology, confirming the maturity and international potential of Polish Generation IV reactor technology.

A new early detection station for radioactive contamination has been launched at the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ). It is one of seven new locations that have been included in the national radiation monitoring network managed by the National Atomic Energy Agency.

Laminated particleboards are one of the most commonly used materials in the furniture industry. Their durability depends on many factors related, for example, to the near-surface layer. These include the presence of additives such as tree bark, which is sometimes used when other raw materials are not available. In their new study, researchers from NCBJ and SGGW investigated the effect of bark additives on durability and defects during the processing of boards.

The National Centre for Nuclear Research has received funding to conduct materials research for the nuclear technology sector as part of the CONNECT-NM programme. Scientists from the NCBJ are participating in four of the 17 projects selected for implementation.

An international team of scientists has published research findings in the prestigious journal Nature Astronomy indicating possible links between dark matter and neutrinos. The key analysis that led to these conclusions was led by researchers from the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).

The National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) is one of the members of the KMD4EOSC (National Data Repository) project consortium, whose aim is to collect data obtained from scientific and research and development grants in the national EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) node. The project is being implemented with support from the European Funds for a Modern Economy programme.
