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.

The SSTG steam generator simulation model has been developed by the University of Hong Kong for pressurized water reactor training simulators. Two-phase thermal-hydraulic models have been developed to simulate various physical phenomena such as boiling heat transfer and phase slip in the steam generator. To validate their accuracy, a turbine trip test is simulated. The calculational results are compared with the Electric Power Research Institute’s Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 2 turbine trip test data, and the results are found to be reasonably satisfactory.
