Disease-resistant cauliflower created through nuclear science
International Atomic Energy Agency researchers have helped scientists on the Indian Ocean island nation of Mauritius to develop a variety of cauliflower that is resistant to black rot disease. The cauliflower was developed through innovative radiation-induced plant-breeding techniques employed by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture.

A mathematical model of the separation of deuterium from tritium in an electrolytic cell containing D2O and T2O to which lithium was added for ion production is described. The model is compared with the experimental results obtained by measurement of the tritium concentration in the cell and in the recombined off gases. The model yields results that are well within the experimental error. Experimenters can use the model to determine accurately whether any increase in tritium concentration in the cell is due to electrolytic isotope separation. The ratio of the tritium in the cell to the tritium in the recombined off gases was found to be 2. This is in agreement with other work.
