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.

While the war in Ukraine continues to unfold, the conflict has already spawned seismic shifts in energy geopolitics. This session will begin with a review of nuclear-related events in Ukraine and lessons learned about the media coverage, then shift to an exploration of the short- and long-term consequences for the global nuclear enterprise and the U.S. role in it.
