IAEA project aims to develop polymer irradiation model
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a new coordinated research project (CRP) aimed at creating a database of polymer-radiation interactions in the next five years with the long-term goal of using the database to enable machine learning–based predictive models.
Radiation-induced modifications are widely applicable across a range of fields including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental applications, and exposure to radiation is a major factor when considering materials used at nuclear power plants.

The Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) device, which is under conceptual design in the US., presents several neuronics and shielding issues that impact the machine design significantly. This paper presents an overview of the various issues and a summary of the various design analyses that have been performed thus far to quantify the issues and to guide the design toward near-optimal engineering solutions to the problems.
