 After an earthquake, even the tiniest crack inside a building can become dangerous. In Mexico, a country prone to earthquakes, many damaged structures still stand. Nuclear technology will now help check the safety of those buildings. The IAEA is providing Mexico with special equipment to verify the integrity of the buildings that have suffered structural damage. Non-destructive testing helps to quickly and efficiently evaluate the integrity of critical buildings. This equipment will help national experts assess whether those buildings are safe to live in, can be repaired or need to be demolished. The new equipment will establish Mexico as a regional center to provide emergency support in the case of natural disasters in Latin America. From Mexico, this is Alejandra Silva, reporting for the IAEA.
