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 continued development of science, engineering, and technology to support nonproliferation policy is instrumental in allowing states to verify compliance with nonproliferation treaties, providing effective and efficient ways to implement domestic and international nuclear safeguards, and preventing non-state actors from developing nuclear weapons or acquiring weapons-usable nuclear or radiological material, equipment, technology, and expertise. This technical session will focus on new research that supports different aspects of nonproliferation policy.
