The June 2003 IAEA Bulletin edition focuses on both peaceful and non-peaceful nuclear uses. IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei calls for strengthening the global security framework to combat the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Articles report on radiological dispersal devices, illicit trafficking, nuclear law and safeguards. They also examine the topics of freshwater, nutrition, radiopharmaceuticals, and decommissioning nuclear facilities. The IAEA also uses isotopic techniques in an interregional project to develop biosaline agriculture.
