IAEA to help monitor plastic pollution in the Galapagos Islands
The International Atomic Energy Agency announced that its Nuclear Technology for Controlling Plastic Pollution (NUTEC Plastics) initiative has partnered with Ecuador’s Oceanographic Institute of the Navy (INOCAR) and Polytechnic School of the Coast (ESPOL) to build microplastic monitoring and analytical capacity to address the growing threat of marine microplastic pollution in the Galapagos Islands.

The FED/INTOR Critical Issues activity examined three key testing requirements that have the largest impact on the design, operation and cost of FED/INTOR. These are: 1) the total testing time (fluence) during the device lifetime, 2) the minimum number of back-to-back cycles, and 3) the neutron wall load. These requirements were quantified by investigating the benefits/risks to the DEMO from testing structural materials, blankets, and main reactor components in FED/INTOR.
