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.

IVA 2/001 is a computer code for simulating transient, three-dimensional, three-phase, three-component nonhomogeneous (three velocity fields), nonequilibrium flow in a cylindrical porous body (including nuclear reactor cores if desired). Each velocity field consists of an inert and a noninert component. A separated equation of field mass, inert mass concentration in each of the fields, and entropy of the fields together with mixture momentum equations for the flow are solved by a semi-implicit numerical method with an analytical reduction to the pressure or pressure velocity problem and backward substitution. The flexibility of the method in describing three velocity fields of arbitrary direction is demonstrated. The solution procedure of the hydrodynamic problem is described. Finally, a numerical example and a comparison with experimental data demonstrate that the IVA2 method is a powerful tool for numerical multiphase flow simulation.
