| Technology & Expertise |
|
A number of Technologies along with a large pool of expertise have been generated as a valuable resource in the Region as a result of the RCA/IAEA activities, which is further enhancing the scope of the utilisation of Nuclear Technologies for the progress and sustainable development of mankind in this region. In order to give a flavour of these technologies to END-USERS some of them are listed below. Further details regarding their use, potential, safety, etc.,can be obtained by contacting the RCA Coordinator at Vienna or the respective National Representatives. |
