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 steady-state simulation of a 19-tube model once-through steam generator (OTSG) was performed with the TRAC-PF1 thermal-hydraulic computer code. The predicted steady-state results were not in good agreement with the experimental data. Underprediction of the observed superheat temperature was obtained. The current safety analysis computer programs use the Chen correlation. A modification in the Chen boiling correlation produced satisfactory results for use in OTSG analysis.
