IAEA Member States Pledge €22m In Pandemic Support :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: An initiative by the International Atomic Energy Agency to help some 120 countries contain the coronavirus pandemic has received extrabudgetary backing from member states, with voluntary pledges so far totalling around €22m.
The agency’s director-general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said on 11 May the funds will enable the IAEA to help hundreds of laboratories around the world in the use of a nuclear-derived testing technique called real time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (real time RT-PCR). The method is currently the fastest and most accurate to detect the virus causing Covid-19.
