From canvas to carbon, science reveals the truth. Accelerator-based nuclear techniques like radiocarbon dating can uncover art forgeries, trace illicit trade and detect counterfeit food or medicines—all without damaging the evidence. Lean more about the use of nuclear techniques in cultural heritage preservation in our #NuclearExplained: atoms.iaea.org/3Q0KqXZ And mark your calendars for the 2nd IAEA International Conference #Accelerators2026, taking place from 22 to 26 June: atoms.iaea.org/accconf2026

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of radiation include the sun, microwave ovens in our kitchens, and the radios we listen to in our cars. Most of this radiation carries no risk to our health. But some does. In general, radiation has lower risk at lower doses but can be associated with higher risks at higher doses. Depending on the type of radiation, different measures must be taken to protect our bodies and the environment from its effects, while allowing us to benefit from its many applications. #NuclearExplained atoms.iaea.org/3GpijwV

The development of advanced nuclear fuel technologies continues to gain momentum, marked by a notable milestone from Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) in collaboration with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL). The initiation of fabrication for full-scale ANEEL™ fuel bundles represents a critical transition from theoretical validation to practical, in-reactor testing.These demonstration irradiation (DI) bundles are designed to replicate real reactor fuel, enabling the collection of operational performance data under actual conditions. This phase is essential for validating safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability—key requirements for regulatory approval and commercial deployment.ANEEL™ fuel, which combines thorium with enriched uranium, has been engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing CANDU and other pressurized heavy water reactors without requiring major hardware modifications. Its potential advantages include improved fuel utilization, higher burnup, reduced long-lived waste, and enhanced proliferation resistance—factors that position it as a compelling innovation in the pursuit of cleaner and more sustainable nuclear energy.This milestone reflects not only technological progress but also the strengthening of collaborative frameworks between industry and national laboratories. As the project advances through irradiation testing and regulatory pathways, it underscores a broader shift toward next-generation nuclear solutions capable of supporting global clean energy goals.#CleanEnergy #NuclearInnovation #Thorium #EnergyTransition #Nuclearexplained
