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 centrifugal extractor made of metacrylate resin has been studied to observe the separation of light and heavy liquid phases. The axial length required for two-phase separation has been evaluated. It is concluded that the length required for separation decreases as revolution increases from 1200 to 2000 rpm, since the droplet diameters are independent of revolution.
