Introduction

In science and technology, nuclear techniques have frequently proved to be the most
suitable or sensitive and their application has been invaluable in a wide variety
of disciplines -medicine, agriculture, resource assessment and development and
numerous branches of industry. Moreover, in a world increasingly concerned about
environmental protection and development that is sustainable, these techniques have
helped in the search to find ways to reduce pollution and make better use of scarce
resources.
The desire to extend the many benefits of the peaceful uses of nuclear technology
to all countries led as long ago as 1957 to the establishment of the IAEA and to
the immediate introduction of a technical co-operation programme. In the more than
thirty years that have passed since that time, the potential applications of nuclear
techniques have greatly expanded, as have the associated benefits for social and
economic development. Over this period, many of the applications have moved
from research laboratories into hospitals, farms and industrial enterprises.
The IAEA has meanwhile remained as a unique international source of expertise
on nuclear technologies.
