Nuclear techniques are being used to protect and preserve works of art in Croatia. The techniques are supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which operates a project to protect cultural heritage artifacts in Europe. The Ruder Boskovic Institute in Zagreb takes part in this program and operates a facility where works of art can be decontaminated and cleared of insects using radiation.
