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.

A driving device was designed and fabricated using large integration for activated wire counting. The salient points of this setup are presented with reference to reactor flux mapping. They are (a) easy positioning, (b) adjustable speed of motor rotation by varying time sequence, (c) reversible motor rotation, and (d) on-line operation of several units. The device can be used for routine flux mapping and reactor experiments.
