Atomic Energy Authority at Agriscience Fair
The participation of the Atomic Energy Authority in the International Agricultural Science Exhibition and Conference focused on showcasing the role of nuclear and radiation technology in supporting and developing the agricultural sector and achieving food security. The authority highlighted the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, such as irradiating agricultural products to resist pests and extend their shelf life, as well as improving crop qualities through mutation breeding methods based on nuclear techniques. They also discussed water resource management technologies, including identifying water sources and analyzing nutrient movement using nuclear techniques, aimed at enhancing efficiency and conserving water reserves. The importance of applying isotopic and radioactive tracer techniques in soil and plant studies was emphasized, along with applications in product sterilization and reducing post-harvest losses. It was explained that the National Center for Radiation Research and Technology possesses two irradiation units that serve both local markets and exports, with the latest scientific advancements in these fields presented. The event aims to foster scientific and investment collaboration between research institutions and the private sector and to develop nuclear applications in agriculture, contributing to sustainable development and food security.
