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 REPIPE code, a post-processor of the transient thermal-hydraulic computer code RELAP4/ MOD5, was developed to retrieve relevant data from RELAP4 and calculate the time-dependent force exerted on the piping system subjected to pipe rupture. The package of RELAP4/REPIPE forms a tool for both thermal-hydraulic and piping analysis. Both analytical and experimental data of different fluid conditions were used to verify the RELAP4/ REPIPE package. Code-data comparison indicated an overall good code performance.
