PNRI and MSU-IIT forge partnership to advance nuclear science and technology in Mindanao
Mindanao is now poised to go nuclear as representatives from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) and Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) came together at MSU-IIT, Iligan City on March 1, 2024 to formalize a significant collaboration aimed at promoting nuclear science and technology in Mindanao.
"Mindanao should start developing its human resources in nuclear S&T should it consider establishing nuclear power plants," stated Dr. Vallerie Samson, PNRI deputy director. She underscored the importance of preparing the region for potential advancements in nuclear energy and its applications in various sectors.
In addition to energy, nuclear science and technology have diverse applications in agriculture, food, industry, environment, water, and medicine. For instance, PNRI's research has led to the development of innovative techniques such as the use of radiation in agriculture to enhance crop yields and reduce post-harvest losses.
