The Czech regulatory framework addresses climate change in radioactive waste management through a combination of nuclear safety, environmental protection, and climate adaptation strategies. While the Atomic Act does not explicitly name climate change, it requires consideration of external natural hazards (including extreme weather events) in siting, construction, and operation of nuclear facilities. The Environmental Impact Assessment Act explicitly requires assessment of climate change vulnerability. The upcoming deep geological repository must account for long-term climate evolution, including glaciation, permafrost, and changes in groundwater.

Licensing of radioactive waste facilities must ensure resilience to external hazards. The Act mandates safety assessments that include natural conditions, implicitly covering climate-related events such as floods, droughts, and temperature extremes.

Section 10:
Assessment of the site must evaluate

long-term climatic properties and meteorological phenomena, in particular total precipitation, extreme temperatures, wind force, sudden temperature changes, torrential rain, hurricanes and tornadoes.

For deep geological repositories, the regulation explicitly requires assessment of:

expected long-term climate development… including phenomena such as coverage of the site by ice, permafrost or water.
— Section 24

Annex 4 requires assessment of:

“impacts on air and climate… including the vulnerability of the project to climate change.”

This includes effects during construction and operation. The EIA process is managed by the Ministry of the Environment.

The strategy promotes infrastructure resilience, including to heatwaves, droughts, floods, and long-term climate risks. Though radioactive waste facilities are not named explicitly, the principles apply through cross-sectoral adaptation.
