Uranium, the raw material for today's nuclear fuel, is a slightly radioactive metal that occurs throughout the earth's crust. It must be processed through a series of steps to safely produce efficient fuel for generating electricity. Aerial view of the Ranger uranium mine, Northern Territory, Australia, 2014.

In the early years of the IAEA, the need for accurate, scientific data to support the work of this Agency quickly became apparent. In 1964, on the advice of the International Nuclear Data Scientific Working Group (INDSWG) to the then IAEA Director General, Sigvard Eklund, the Nuclear Data Unit (NDU; later known as the Nuclear Data Section) was formed and has since worked under the guidance of the INDSWG (that later would come to be known as the International Nuclear Data Committee (INDC)).

Data are distinct pieces of information that represent the values of various scientific quantities. Data can be produced from experiments or calculations and are refined through contributions from people around the world. By combining data into organised and formatted files and libraries, accurate and complete descriptions of scientific or technological processes can be made. Producing such data libraries is a major task of the Nuclear Data Section.<br /><br />  (Photo: Eric, Flickr)

The Many Applications of Nuclear Data

The nuclear field relies heavily on competent, specialized, highly trained and motivated managers and personnel for its safety, sustainability and high levels of performance. The IAEA helps Member States develop the required human resources to support operating, new and expanding nuclear power programmes, and organizes numerous capacity building and training events each year.

The IAEA, through its Joint Division with the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization and its Technical Cooperation programme, supports 14 African countries in their efforts to combat the tsetse fly using the Sterile Insect Technique. One of these countries is Ethiopia. This photo essay focuses on the country's ongoing tsetse eradication project.

Eradicating Flies to Improve Lives - IAEA Helps Countries in Africa to Combat Tsetse Fly

28 October 2013
Despite thorough efforts to prevent nuclear  and radiological emergencies, we have to live with the fact that they can happen. The IAEA has published advice in the form of safety standards and guidance - developed in cooperation with the Agency's 159 Member States - that aim to prevent accidents but also outline how to best prepare for and respond to them to reduce the harm they could cause. The Agency also holds meetings and conducts exercises and Workshops to strengthen these preparedness and response efforts. The Agency expert in this photo inspected the damage to Reactor Unit 3 at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in May 2011, just months after a large earthquake caused a tsunami that swept over the plant, causing severe damage.
