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.

Space-time neutronic behavior of CANDU reactors is of importance in the analysis and design of reactor safety systems. A methodology has been developed for simulating CANDU space-time neu-tronics with application to the analysis of postulated loss-of-coolant accidents. The approach involves the efficient use of a set of computer codes that provides a capability to perform simulations ranging from detailed, accurate three-dimensional space-time to low-cost survey calculations using point kinetics with some “effective” spatial content. A new space-time kinetics code based on a modal expansion approach is described. This code provides an inexpensive and relatively accurate scoping tool for detailed three-dimensional space-time simulations.
