Descripción(ATM:NUC:PAK). ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY CENTRE AT DACCA, EAST PAKISTAN. UN 102,657 DACCA, East Pakistan. April 1967. The Atomic Energy Agency Centre at Dacca, East Pakistan, with assistance provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1965, and subsequently under the UN Development programme (UNDP), has carried out research in nuclear physics, using its 3-MeV Van de Graaff accelerator. Up to new research has been carried out in the elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons, total neutron cross-section measurements, (n,a) reactions and (p,Y) resonance reactions. The centre now wishes to study (n,Y) reactions and the measure fission cross-section. An expert is being assigned in 1968 under UNDP to assist in these new studies. The Centre’s request for more sophisticated equipment from the IAEA in order to keep up the pace of Paskistan’s expanding neutron physics programme, has received preliminary approval. Technician at the Dacca Atomic Energy Centre is seen here studying sample of P-32 (radioactive phosphorus solution) for counting activity subsequent to mixing with the soil samples. The purpose is to determinate phosphorus requirement in soils for optimum plant growth. Please credit: UNITED NATIONS MB/AB
