Large Research Facilities 

China's radiation technology development has benefited greatly from a number of large research facilities in operation, including accelerators, research reactors and synchrotron light sources. The 100 MeV high intensity proton cyclotron at the China Institute of Atomic Energy has played an important role in the basic research of nuclear physics, isotope development and nuclear application. Heavy ion accelerators, proton accelerators and PET cyclotrons for tumor treatment are advanced equipment for the application of radiation technology in medicine. The 125 MW high flux engineering test reactor and the 60 MW China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR) have produced a wide range of medical and pharmaceutical radioisotopes, and boosted the development and application of neutron imaging. Large light sources such as the Hefei National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility have provided powerful tools for cutting-edge basic research in radiation physics, radiation chemistry, materials science, nuclear medicine, and radiopharmacy, as well as the development and application of medical diagnosis. The China Spallation Neutron Source has provided an advanced and powerful research platform for basic research and high-tech development in the frontier areas of physics, chemistry, life science, materials science, nanoscience, medicine and new nuclear energy development in China.
