Updates on nuclear safety, security and safeguards implications of the conflict in Ukraine.
Cuba, with support from ’s&²Ô²ú²õ±è;, is aiming to tackle the spread of dengue by piloting a nuclear technique which can decrease mosquito populations.
Darmansjah Djumala, Indonesia’s Ambassador in Vienna, talks about Indonesia’s roles as both a recipient and a donor of the Peaceful Uses Initiative of the .
Nuclear can be utilized to decarbonize non-electric applications. The supports and facilitates the development of new and emerging non-electric applications of nuclear technologies.
While coal played a major role in the development of the modern world, it is also the primary reason behind climate change: coal burning is responsible for more than 40 per cent of global carbon emissions and more than 75 per cent of emissions from electricity generation. The clean energy transition means shifting energy production away from sources that release a lot of greenhouse gases to those that release little to no greenhouse gases. The fosters sustainable nuclear energy development by producing publications, facilitating technical cooperation, and coordinating research.
Nuclear and isotopic techniques can help us to better understand the world we live in. The data gathers with these techniques can lead to improved, science-based policy making, including in relation to climate change. We can study both land and water systems using various nuclear techniques to evaluate the effects of climate change on the environment. The IAEA uses nuclear science and technology to help countries to climate change. It gives guidance on how to preserve and restore the environment.
The obvious lesson from the pandemic is the lack of global preparedness. The dedicated its Scientific Forum to investigate how nuclear science can further help the world to prepare for future zoonotic outbreaks.
Particle accelerators have many applications in medicine, industry and research. These machines accelerate charged particles, such as electrons and protons, to high speeds, sometimes even close to the speed of light.
Scientists in Sri Lanka, through the ’s technical cooperation programme, are now looking to a nuclear technique to enhancing tea plant productivity through increased genetic diversity.
Due to Imposed travel restrictions due to the pandemic, a new set of guidelines provide nuclear power plant operators an additional support tool until missions can resume.
As the largest ecosystem on the planet, the world’s ocean is a pillar of climate regulation and a powerful source of solutions to the changing climate. scientists use nuclear and nuclear derived techniques to understand the processes and mechanisms that control the oceans and propose strategies to protect people and the marine environment from the impacts of climate change, pollution, habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.
reaches agreement with Iran to extend by one month the necessary verification and monitoring activities carried out by the Agency in the country ensuring continuity of knowledge.
The and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development have agreed to continue to work together, and with Ukrainian authorities, towards safe and cost-effective solutions to decommission the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and manage radioactive waste in the Exclusion Zone.
