Tackling microplastics in Antarctica using nuclear tech - Chile and IAEA sign MoU

 The International Atomic Energy Agency's NUTEC Plastics initiative uses nuclear and isotopic techniques to produce data on marine microplastics distribution and fight plastic pollution - it is one of the areas covered by Chile's new cooperation agreements with the agency.
