Nuclear Energy Handbook

The IAEA supports research mainly through Co-ordinated Research Projects (CRPs), which bring together research institutes in both developing and developed countries to collaborate on the research topic of interest. The research that is supported encourages the acquisition and dissemination of new knowledge and technology generated through the use of nuclear technologies and isotopic techniques in the various fields of work covered by the Agency’s mandate.

The results are freely available to Member States and the international scientific community through dissemination in the Agency’s scientific and technical publications and in other relevant international or national journals. Where it is practical and relevant, the knowledge gained through CRPs is used to enhance the quality of projects delivered to Member States through the Agency’s Technical Cooperation Programme.
