TC - technical support projects. RCP can flow into the TS. One project per country. (from 2 to 3 years old). Grant can be given for trips to conferences, internships for young scientists.

The IAEA is authorized: to encourage and support the study, development and practical use of atomic energy throughout the world for civilian purposes; Intermediate in the exchange of services and materials between their members at their request; to ensure the use of materials, services and equipment for the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information in the peaceful use of nuclear energy; take security measures to prevent the use of nuclear materials for military purposes; together with the bodies and institutions of the UN system responsible for these issues, to define and establish norms in the field of safety and health protection.
