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.

Full power generator load rejection transient initiated in startup test was simulated. The measured data are retrieved from STARTREC tape. The calculated and measured data especially for parameters of system pressure, core heat flux, feedwater flow rate, reactor water level, core flow, and normalized power are compared. The results indicate that the RETRAN code can successfully predict the parameters.
