Introduction

The benefits of the peaceful uses of nuclear technology are realized every day in
hospitals, industries, farms, and universities worldwide. As nuclear technology
has expanded, so have the benefits associated with its applications.

The IAEA encourages the use of nuclear energy in national and regional efforts
to foster
sustainable, economic, and social development. In the Latin American region,
nuclear technology is applied in numerous areas and has helped to improve the
quality of life of the
people in the region in a variety of fields.

Against a background of use since the middle of this century, it was recognized
that nuclear technology could be used to solve problems common to developing
countries, including those in Latin America. In agriculture and health, and to
a lesser extent in industry, hydrology, and other fields, nuclear techniques can
contribute to solving similar problems found in the region.

The IAEA has provided technical assistance to developing countries in the region
for decades. Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico are more advanced in the nuclear
energy field; while countries such as Colombia, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Paraguay,
Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela have attained an intermediate level. Smaller
countries, including as Costa Rica and Guatemala, are starting enthusiastically
to develop programmes to introduce the use of nuclear technology.
