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.

An on-line core supervision system, “CORE MASTER,” has been installed at the boiling water reactor (BWR)-6 plant of Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt. The system, based on the three-dimensional nodal simulator PRESTO, has been a valuable support tool for on-line core monitoring and tracking of thermal margins, predictive calculations, and on-line data management and display.
