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 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.
