IAEA scientists help rainbow trout farmers in Latin America
The trout population in the western hemisphere is getting stronger through the application of nuclear science.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, as part of a technical cooperation project, is equipping laboratories and training specialists in nine countries to better deal with the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in rainbow trout.

The general scaling laws for transient one- and two-phase mass and heat flow, and the other conditions that hold in the transitional state, have been published. Details of the scaling of loss-of-coolant accident phenomena for water-cooled nuclear reactors are investigated by means of experimental loops using water and Freon-12. To a smaller extent we have also investigated the scaling of heat- and mass-flow transients in sodium-cooled nuclear reactors by using water.
