IAEA looks at nuclear techniques for crop resilience
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a five-year coordinated research project (CRP) to strengthen plant health preparedness using nuclear and related technologies.
Wheat blast, potato late blight, potato bacterial wilt, and cassava witches broom disease can spread quickly across large areas of land, leading to severe yield losses in key crops for food security. Global trade and climate change have increased the likelihood of rapid, transboundary spread.

Fundamental to the successful operation of any nuclear site is a first-class safety culture which strives to continually improve in response to good industry practices and operating experience feedback. Presenters will provide examples of either specific good practices and / or lessons learned at their site, following which an audience discussion will be initiated on alternative good practices and experiences in these areas.
