IAEA project aims to develop polymer irradiation model
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a new coordinated research project (CRP) aimed at creating a database of polymer-radiation interactions in the next five years with the long-term goal of using the database to enable machine learning–based predictive models.
Radiation-induced modifications are widely applicable across a range of fields including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental applications, and exposure to radiation is a major factor when considering materials used at nuclear power plants.

The future of nuclear energy is rapidly being changed and expanded by today's innovators and leaders. New technologies and new customers mean new applications and new opportunities. As support and interest in nuclear technology only continues to grow and expand the room to consider a future of diverse nuclear applications beyond just our electricity grid also broadens. Understanding how current developers, technologists, communities, and others are thinking about this future and attempting to make it a reality is key to a clear picture of the future of nuclear energy.
