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 version of the RELAP/MOD2 code has been developed to allow the direct calculation of hydrodynamic piping load histories. The code allows the calculation of piping forcing functions within the same computer run used to evaluate the transient thermofluid conditions. A description of this code, RELAP5-FORCE MOD2 is provided. The accuracy and validity of RELAP5-FORCE MOD2 are demonstrated by comparisons to benchmark test data.
