IAEA looks at nuclear techniques for crop resilience
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a five-year coordinated research project (CRP) to strengthen plant health preparedness using nuclear and related technologies.
Wheat blast, potato late blight, potato bacterial wilt, and cassava witches broom disease can spread quickly across large areas of land, leading to severe yield losses in key crops for food security. Global trade and climate change have increased the likelihood of rapid, transboundary spread.

In the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, dissolver off-gas (DOG) is supposed to include nitrogen oxides (NOX) during the operation. An adsorption process by mineral zeolite has been studied for DOG treatment that follows a dehydration and iodine removal process. According to the results, the characteristics of the mineral zeolite hydrogenated by 1 N HCl are very favorable for this purpose. As for the actual operation, a small fraction of iodine is supposed to penetrate the I2 removal process to the NOX adsorption process. No degradation has been observed for the NOX adsorption of mineral zeolite by the presence of I2.
