Wyoming Forestry Unveils New Aerial Firefighting Facility in Casper to Enhance Wildfire Response

Wyoming State Forestry has officially opened a new helibase in Casper, Wyoming, designed to house aircraft dedicated to fighting wildfires.

IAEA and Inter-American Development Bank Partner to Advance Nuclear Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to foster cooperation on nuclear technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
