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.

Unal’s subcooled flow boiling bubble model is being used in the best-estimate light water reactor code RELAP5/MOD3. There is a significant discontinuity (by a factor of 2) in the condensation heat transfer coefficient from this model at 1 MPa, which can cause numerical problems in the code. The correlation has been modified (with the approval of Unal) to remove the discontinuity at 1 MPa and to replace it with a form that is continuous to three significant places at 1.1272 MPa.
