ElBaradei - a worthy role model

The Non-Aligned Movement, G77 groups of developing countries and China said in a statement to the 35-nation board of governors that the IAEA's half of the money "be used for practical application of atomic energy for peaceful purposes for the needs of developing countries".

Diplomats said the board was unlikely to decide at its one-day meeting how the money should be used, but would probably agree to put it into a fund and the use determined later.

ElBaradei would not be keeping his prize money either.

"He intends to direct it to charity and other good causes," IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said. "He will not keep it for himself."
