August 20th is theWorld Mosquito Day. The China National Atomic Energy Agency's Nuclear Technology (Sterile Insects) R&D Center established by Sun Yat-sen University applies nuclear technology to "killing mosquitoes." It sounds unbelievable. In fact, by the use of radiation in the laboratory to destroy the fertility of male mosquitoes is an application of nuclear technology. The research work of the center has been highly recognized by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

On August 10, the “Shandong Nuclear Power Technology and Safety Technology Innovation Center” applied by Shandong Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. was officially approved by the Shandong Provincial Department of Science and Technology. It becomes one of the 22 provincial-level technological innovation centers approved to be built in Shandong Province. "Shandong Nuclear Power Technology and Safety Technology Innovation Center" is the first nuclear power technology innovation center in Shandong Province. Shandong Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., as the main organized unit, is jointly cooperated for preparation with Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute and Yantai University.

On August 9, the first batch of Russian-supplied large-scale components and equipment of Tianwan Nuclear Power Unit 7, the shell of core catcher and packing arrived at Tianwan site via 12,000 nautical miles after lasting for 60 days, from the Port of St. Petersburg, Russia. .

On August 3, local time, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group Co., Ltd. officially opened the pilot standard clinic for epidemic prevention built at the Hushan Uranium Mine Project in Namibia, Africa. This is the first overseas standard infirmary built by the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group Co., Ltd., and it is also the first standard infirmary built by a Chinese Central Enterprise in Africa. There are a Chinese doctor and a Chinese nurse with rich anti-epidemic experience in the medical office, having the ability to treat new coronary pneumonia and other common diseases. In addition to provide good health services for Chinese personnel in the Project, the clinic is to be available to Chinese employees from other central enterprises in Africa.

On July 28, "I Do Practical Work for the People" important livelihood project-nuclear heating supply and energy-saving demonstration project jointly undertaken by Qinshan Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and the Haiyan County Government's started construction in Haiyan County.

Karachi local time July 12, 2021, the "Hualong No. 1" overseas K-3 unit containment pressure level was dropped to atmosphere, and the 0-meter personnel hatch was opened, marking the successful completion of the K-3 unit containment test. After sampling and analyzing the gas in the containment, the special team for the overall test of the containment consisting of professionals from related organizations had conducted a comprehensive inspection of the area inside the containment. No abnormalities or damages were found in the mechanical, electrical, and instrument control equipment. At the same time, safety measures such as fire protection and lighting were restored.

On July 6, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced that the critical heat flux (CHF) test of the annular fuel assembly undertaken by the CIAE has achieved a major technological breakthrough, and successfully obtained the first batch of CHF data for non-uniformly heated full-length rod bundles. It has laid a solid foundation for the evaluation and development of the critical heat flux relationship formula suitable for annular fuel, and supporting the testing of the annular fuel pilot assembly into the reactor. This test uses 5×5 annular fuel to heat the full-length rod bundle non-uniformly, and the axial power distribution of the rod bundle adopts a truncated cosine distribution close to the actual situation in the reactor, which is the first time at home and abroad.
