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.

Application of computerized tomography (CT) in two-phase flows has been discussed in the existing literature. Development of a fast, but simple, algorithm for reconstructing the density p or the absorption coefficient µ is attempted. The algorithm, involving radial polynomials (RAP), has been tested using simulated data for radially symmetric bubbly and annular two-phase flows. The RAP algorithm can also be applied in nonsymmetric flow situations, provided the information required is the cross-sectionally averaged density. The results indicate RAP to be a fast and accurate method for CT reconstructions involving an air-water flow system.
