A timely topic in this issue - the siting of nuclear power plants. In the article 'Outline and assessment of the most important changes in the Polish nuclear power plant siting procedure' we can learn about new regulations introduced in 2023, which are intended to shorten the time of siting procedures. This is about amendments to laws related to the implementation of investments in the field of nuclear power.
The article on research and analysis of the impact of ionizing radiation discusses the validity of developing cytogenetic methods, such as systematic monitoring of the frequency of chromosomal aberrations.
The three remaining articles are devoted to various aspects of the occurrence, detection and possible use of ionizing radiation, as well as nuclear transformations and reactions. In one of these articles, the author will take us on a journey back in time dating back to the beginning of the Universe.
