Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

As the largest developing country, China is always paying a great attention to the research and development of energy resources. With a lot of efforts spent in developing the nuclear power (fission energy), China also puts much emphasis on the study of clean fusion energy. The progresses of research on the fabrication of solid breeders, preparation of hydrogen storage materials and its performances, the interaction between hydrogen and some materials recently in China have been introduced.
