Nuclear Technology in Agriculture and Medicine
According to Rezaei, Eslami emphasized the role of nuclear technology in extending the shelf life of agricultural products through irradiation, which prevents the spoilage of nearly one-third of farm produce and boosts exports and efficiency.
The AEOI has so far established several irradiation centers with a total capacity of 500,000 tons, he said, adding that this capacity is increasing.
Eslami also discussed advances in plasma technology, noting that plasma therapy has proven effective in healing diabetic wounds and breast cancer in women. “The AEOI has made remarkable progress in this field,” Rezaei quoted him as saying.
He added that the organization has achieved significant results in industrial waste treatment and purification of contaminated water, converting it into usable water—a notable step toward sustainable environmental management.
