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.

A model is demonstrated for the calculation of the transport of radionuclides in saturated groundwater, including both adsorption and dispersion phenomena. With the assistance of this model, the radionuclide transport paths through the ground in in the case of an underground reactor power plant have been investigated.
