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.
The UN marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (26 April 1986) – one of the most serious nuclear accidents in history. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by radiation. Some 350,000 people were forced to leave their homes in severely contaminated areas, with a deeply traumatic and lasting impact on their lives. The Chernobyl disaster was contained by governments working with academics and civil society for the common good. It holds important lessons for today’s efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Disaster knows no borders.
On March 2011, Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was hit by a powerful earthquake and huge tsunami. What progress has been made in nuclear safety since the accident?
Find out how nuclear science plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, from medical imaging to radiotherapy to radiopharmaceuticals to sterilising medical equipment. Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. 10 million people die each year from cancer and the number is growing. More than one third of cancer cases can be prevented. Another third can be cured if detected early and treated properly. The helps countries increase access to life-saving nuclear techniques.
