Boj proti nádorům, archeologické nálezy, kulturní dědictví, astrofyzika, pivo, vltavíny či ekologie - zdálo by se, že takto vzdálené oblasti a pojmy mohou mit sotva co shodného. Přesto: jejich společným jemnovatelem jsou jaderné reakce, které k jejich výzkumu vypracovali a využili v Ústavu jaderné fyziky v Řeži. and Jana Olivová, Jan Kučer, Tomaš Hellebrand.
In 2010, the body a Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was exhumed from a tomb in the Church of Our Lady before T9n in Old Town Square in Prague to authenticate the cause of his death. Brahe's death only eleven days after the onset of a sudden illness has been a mystery for over four hundred years. Over the centuries, a variety of myths and theories about his death were propounded. The most persistent theory has been that mercury poisoning caused Brahe's death. After studying samples for two years taken during the exhumation, the team of researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark, the University of Southern Denmark and the ASCR's Nuclear Physics Institute came to the unanimous conclusion that Brahe did not die of mercury poisoning. and Jan Kučera, Jan Kameník a Vladimír Havránek.
