The IAEA targets seafood contaminants and plastic pollution in oceans
Oceans link all the continents of the world, and fish don’t respect boundary lines. So it’s fitting that a global organization—the International Atomic Energy Agency—is helping nations detect and monitor both plastic pollution and biotoxins in marine algae that can lead to outbreaks of contaminated seafood.

France is participating as one of the European voluntary contributors to the joint Europe-Japan so-called Broader Approach (BA) activities in support of ITER and DEMO activities, consisting of three projects: the engineering design and validation of a 14-MeV-neutron irradiation facility (IFMIF-EVEDA), the building of the International Fusion Energy Research Centre (IFERC), and the ITER Satellite Tokamak Programme (STP-JT-60SA). This paper gives an overview of the French contributions to the BA projects and reports on the present status of these projects since 2007.
