A few shots from Sunday sunset on JESTED.
The hotel and TV transmitter on Ještěd is a one-piece rotary hyperboloid construction built between 1966 and 1973 at the top of Ještěd mountain in Liberec. It is nearly 100 meters high with a circular ground plan of 33 meters in diameter. Its author is architect Karel Hubacek, who was helped by Zdeněk Patrman and interior designer Otakar Binar. Prior to the construction of the current hotel, a hotel was built at the top of the mountain from the middle of the 19th century, in the vicinity of which was built in the beginning of the 20th century with the interest of tourists. The buildings were made of wood and both burned in the 1960s.
Pár zaberu z nedelního chytani slunce na Jestedu.
Hotel a televizní vysílač na Ještědu je stavba ve tvaru jednodílného rotačního hyperboloidu, postavená v letech 1966 až 1973 na vrcholu hory Ještěd u Liberce. Je vysoká téměř 100 metrů s kruhovým půdorysem o průměru 33 metrů. Jejím autorem je architekt Karel Hubáček, kterému se statikou stavby pomáhal Zdeněk Patrman a s výbavou vnitřních prostor Otakar Binar. Před vybudováním současného hotelu stával na vrcholu hory od poloviny 19. století hotel, v jehož blízkosti byl na počátku 20. století, s ohledem na zájem turistů vybudován další. Stavby byly ze dřeva a obě v šedesátých letech 20. století shořely.

Nuclear Inspections
Nuclear technology has the potential to save lives, make food and medical supplies safer and produce energy. But it can also be the basis for the development of nuclear weapons.
One of the IAEA's core functions is to confirm that countries are abiding by their obligations not to use nuclear materials or equipment to produce nuclear explosive devices. To verify that nuclear materials are used solely for peaceful purposes, the IAEA has developed a safeguards system based on legal Safeguards Agreements.
179 States have entered into Safeguards Agreements with the IAEA, submitting nuclear materials, facilities and activities to the regular scrutiny of the IAEA's inspectors.
Inspectors visit a wide range of nuclear facilities that are related to the nuclear fuel cycle. These include power plants, research reactors, fuel fabrication plants, uranium enrichment and reprocessing facilities.
In November 2012, the IAEA conducted a 'Physical Inventory Verification' (PIV) at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, in the Czech Republic, which is situated 170 km south east of Prague.
This kind of inspection takes places after fresh fuel is loaded into a reactor core and the displaced irradiated fuel has been removed and transferred to the spent fuel pond.
SOUNDBITE (English) Jiri Gerza, Chief Accountancy Officer for Nuclear Materials, Dukovany NPP:
The main purpose of the inspector's presence is to verify that all the activities with fuel are according our declaration. That we handle nuclear fuel as we declare, according to our rules and safeguards provisions.
Dukovany is one of two nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic. It has two main production units; each of them contains two pressurized water reactors. The plant supplies around 20 percent of the total consumption of electricity in the country.
During an inspection, the IAEA inspectors are accompanied by the state inspectors and the operators of the plant.
SOUNDBITE (English) Miguel Pozo Blanco, inspector, IAEA:
We have to check that the seals have not been tampered with. We have to check that all frets verified on irradiated fuel is in the quantity declared by the operator and we have to confirm another important thing is to confirm that all the accountancy is consistent.
Inspections in European Union countries are carried out in cooperation with inspectors from EURATOM, the European Atomic Energy Community.
SOUNDBITE (English) Kolos Molnar, inspector, EURATOM:
With these tools we are able to follow the flow of the nuclear material or we are able to determine the presence of nuclear material or we can discover if for any reason the absence of nuclear material.
As the nuclear materials in both fresh fuel and spent fuel, namely plutonium and uranium could be used to manufacture nuclear weapons after further enrichment or reprocessing, it is essential the IAEA verifies that they are not diverted from peaceful use.
Inspection activities include attachment and detachment of seals, installing and servicing of surveillance systems and verifying inventories, receipts and shipments at the facilities.
The IAEA currently has around 250 inspectors. In 2012 they performed over 2000 inspections.
