Introduction

The growth and development of countries in the Asian region has been marked
by an increasing demand for nuclear science and technology. One of the most
important activities of the IAEA in Asia and the Pacific is its programme of
technical co-operation, which contributes to the development of Member States
through the application of nuclear technology in agriculture, medicine, industry,
and energy. In the Asian region, levels of attainment in each of these fields greatly
varies from one country to another. The diversity provides exciting opportunities
for technical co-operation among these countries to ensure the fullest contribution
of nuclear science and technology to economic and social development.

Regional planning accelerates self-sufficiency in scientific disciplines and
appropriate technologies by combining intellectual and physical resources.
Regional projects foster technical co-operation, greater sharing of resources -
including facilities, equipment, and manpower - and greater pooling of
knowledge and close communication between scientists. Technical co-operation
among developing countries in the Asian region is further supported and
promoted by the developed countries in the region and by interregional institutions.
