CNB Report. Research, development, innovation. 2015/2016

When we look back on the past two years, one of the first things that comes to mind for most of us is the fire that destroyed our low voltage power plant on the morning of 14 February 2015. The invaluable dedication of the centre’s maintenance crew and of many other people mitigated the potentially...
