According to Thomas Rychtařík, director of the state company DIAMO, under which the GEAM plant falls, liquidation work has already commenced. The Rožná mine has been the last functioning uranium mine not only in the Czech Republic but also in Central Europe. Uranium exploration there started 60 years ago.
