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.

Recent JT-60U experiments were concentrated on extending new operational regimes such as the negative-shear mode and high triangularity regime in addition to high βp H-mode. The results are quite encouraging for steady-state operation which is necessary for ITER and future tokamak reactors such as SSTR. First neutral beam injection into a tokamak plasma using negative ion acceleration was successfully made. Design and fabrication of the W-shaped radiative pumped divertor is progressing on schedule and the design of the JT-60SU is making progress.
