National Atomic Energy Industry Metrology and Test Center approved to be built
Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, February 12, according to the official news of the General Administration of Market Supervision, in order to enhance the core competitiveness of the atomic energy industry and give better play to the technical support and safeguard role of metrology to the atomic energy industry, the General Administration of Market Supervision recently approved the establishment of a national atomic energy industry metrology and testing center relying on the China Institute of Atomic Energy Research.
The General Administration of Market Supervision said that the atomic energy industry is an emerging industry engaged in the production and recycling of nuclear fuel, nuclear energy and the application of nuclear technology, and it is also a high-tech strategic industry related to national security and the lifeline of the national economy. In every key link of the whole life cycle of the atomic energy industry, metrology goes hand in hand. From a "seed source" that can be implanted into the human body, a dose of radiopharmaceuticals, to proton cancer treatment equipment, million kilowatt pressurized water reactor nuclear power units, atomic energy products always take the lead in the integration and application of the most advanced contemporary science and technology. and covers physics, chemistry, materials, machinery, biology, electronics, information and many other high-tech fields. Only when it is measured can it be built; only when it is measured accurately can it be made accurately. From research and development, design, production to application, metrology runs through all aspects of the whole life cycle of the atomic energy industry, continuously contributing to the improvement of the quality of the atomic energy industry.
According to reports, in order to achieve an ultra-low impurity content of 5/100000, alpha radionuclide radiopharmaceuticals should repeatedly measure and test a series of parameters such as precursor irradiated material abundance, separation and extraction process, and choose the optimal scheme during design and development. The key components and processes in the production of proton cancer treatment equipment, such as ion sources, superconducting magnets, energy reducers, rotating frames, etc., are inseparable from the support of advanced metrological testing technology to ensure that when thousands of patients are treated every year, the output error is less than 5/1000. In order to ensure accident-free operation within 60 years, Hualong No. 1 needs to carry out rigorous metrological tests on its physical, chemical and electrical properties when tens of thousands of raw materials and components are processed or purchased.
CTOnews.com learned that the China Atomic Energy Research Institute, which belongs to the China National Nuclear Industry Corporation, is the birthplace of China's nuclear science and technology and a basic and comprehensive nuclear research base. Relying on the China Institute of Atomic Energy, the National Atomic Energy Industry Metrology and testing Center will be set up to speed up the metrological scientific and technological innovation in the atomic energy field, and strengthen the research and application of metrological and testing technologies in key areas of the industry. at the same time, it trains high-end technical personnel in metrology and testing for the atomic energy industry and provides the whole industry chain, full traceability chain and forward-looking high-quality metrological technical services. To contribute to the goal of "trinity" to promote China to become a world atomic energy industry power.
