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.

Particle simulation codes are useful for calculating the dynamics of systems of charged particles in magnetic fields. These codes can integrate ion and electron trajectories in applied or self-consistent electromagnetic fields. The codes have application to several areas of fusion reactor design, including plasma dynamic questions in the reactor plasma as well as in the design of devices for plasma heating. The central themes of plasma simulation, as well as several applications, are described.
