Pursuing Excellence and Embarking on a New Journey - China National Nuclear Corporation Qintong's Fi

Pursuing Excellence and Embarking on a New Journey - At the beginning of the new year, everything is updated, and CNNC Qintong welcomes exciting news: on December thirty-one, two thousand twenty-four, CNNC Qintong successfully achieved the first batch of successful trial production of barium [fourteenC] carbonate products, marking another breakthrough in the field of radioactive isotope production relying on the unique advantages of the Qinshan Nuclear Heavy Water Reactor. It has solved the problem of domestic dependence on imported carbon-fourteen isotopes, achieved comprehensive localization of carbon-fourteen supply, and drawn a satisfactory conclusion to the work in two thousand twenty-four, opening a new chapter of vigorous development and pursuit of excellence in two thousand twenty-five. Carbon-fourteen product promotional samples. Carbon-fourteen isotopes are well-known for their wide applications in agriculture, chemistry, medicine, biology, and other fields, especially in the detection of Helicobacter pylori, pharmacokinetic research, and beta ray environmental monitoring systems. They have extremely high medical and scientific value. Previously, China's carbon-fourteen supply relied almost entirely on imports, which were expensive and the supply could not be guaranteed. The shortage of supply has seriously constrained the healthy development of downstream industries. The carbon-fourteen production line is the first domestically designed and constructed industrial production line of Baiju Li grade barium [fourteenC] carbonate by CNNC Qintong. It uses aluminum nitride irradiated from Qinshan Heavy Water Reactor as raw material and adopts dry process to extract carbon-fourteen isotopes. It has the advantages of high equipment automation, sufficient raw material extraction, low product impurities, and small amount of radioactive waste. After months of unremitting efforts, the most important step in the commissioning of the carbon-fourteen production line was the hot trial production on December thirty-one, two thousand twenty-four. Using two carbon-fourteen targets, one curie carbon [fourteenC] barium oxide was successfully prepared. After inspection, the first batch of carbon-fourteen product indicators meet the quality standards of major international suppliers and meet the conditions for supplying to the market. In two thousand twenty-five, CNNC Qintong will carry out large-scale production according to the designed production capacity of the production line, meet domestic market demand, break the long-term technological monopoly of foreign countries, reduce industry costs, and benefit more people's health. CNNC Qintong will continue to deepen its collaboration with Qinshan Nuclear Power and other units, actively pursue excellence, and strive to build the largest isotope production base in the country, providing comprehensive solutions for nuclear technology applications in industries such as industry, agriculture, medicine, and scientific research at home and abroad, promoting the deep development of the isotope application industry chain, and contributing to the development of China's nuclear technology application industry.
