The IAEA expands capabilities in areas of technology transfer, setting up its department for technical cooperation and a joint division with the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. In Trieste, Italy, the IAEA inaugurates the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, which serves as a research and training centre for scientists from developing countries. In Geneva, the Third UN International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy convenes in August. In the USA, nuclear power orders start to pick up and interest in nuclear electricity generation rises globally. The IAEA tracks plants and projections, some of which see 1000 nuclear plants by the year 2000. In October, China tests a nuclear bomb, becoming the fifth nuclear-weapon State, alongside France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the USA.
