VIENNA-SABA
The International Atomic Energy Agency approved two Yemeni proposals to be brought forward to the next technical cooperation cycle of 2022-2023: the second phase of a radiation therapy and nuclear medicine and the second phase of using nuclear techniques to produce crop varieties that tolerate climate extremes.

The proposals were approved during a meeting between the IAEA and the Yemeni National Commission for Nuclear Energy.

The meeting discussed the Houthi seizure of the Commission’s headquarters by the militia of Houthi putchists in Sana’a and what can the IAEA do to help Yemen detect and check the proliferation of covid-19.
