INTRODUCTION:It is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to
restrain its use for any military purpose including nuclear weapons. It was established as an
autonomous organization on 29 July 1957.
The areas of work of IAEA are as follows:1- Safety and Security
2- Science and Technology
3- Safeguards and Verification
4- Technical Cooperation
5- Nuclear Energy
6- Nuclear application
One way to measure the economic development of a country is the per capita consumption of
electricity. The standard of living for Indians which will be somewhat comparable to those living in
developed countries, it has been estimated that the consumption of electricity should increase at
least by a factor of 8 to 10 per capita.
The IAEA has a department of nuclear sciences and its applications help countries use nuclear and
isotopic techniques to promote sustainable development objectives in agriculture, water resource
management, human health, marine environment and industrial applications.
The essential program of the IAEA is stressing nuclear security, its activities for preventing and
combating nuclear terrorism. The European union was is the firm view that each country had the
right to define its own energy strategy. Those countries who considered or planned that to include
nuclear power in their energy strategies, the IAEA play a key role in assisting them to ensure that
the development and operation of nuclear power took place under the most operational, safety
stringent legal, security and non-proliferation conditions. The Agencys activities are to increase the
contribution of nuclear technology for peace, health, and economic development.
NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS: Helped to save the Western capes orange industry.
A nuclear technique has helped save the livelihood of
10,000 people in South Africas orange industry.
Moths were destroying the citrus fruits.
To tackle this problem the IAEA, working with the FAO, helped local partners to launch the sterile
insect technique.
This environmentally friendly method controls pests by using radiation to make them infertile.
Every week millions of moths are bred, sterilized with gamma rays and released above citrus
orchards.
Thanks to this project the moth population has gradually diminished.
Leading to a boost in exports to markets all over the world.
Nuclear technology helps women farmers in move out of poverty:-
Nuclear science helps Sudanese women turn dry lands into vegetable fields.
They are trained in using the optimal amount of water and fertilizers for crops to flourish.
This IAEA/FAO-backed project cut water usage by 60%, while increasing harvests by 40%.
Once lacking work opportunities, hundreds of women can now feed their families.
Expanded drip irrigation will support over 1000 more female farmers.
Empowered women make rural Sudanese communities stronger.

A competent, independent regulator must be developed to ensure compliance with all nuclear
safety standards.
IAEA give recommendations, suggestions, and support.
The IAEA does not influence that decision. But when a country decides to go that route, the IAEA
is her to help.
