In September, the first National Science Popularization Month, TSNP, focusing on the CGN’s research brand of “Nuclear Light Together”, engaged in a two-way interactive approach by “bringing in” and “going out”. This initiative aims to foster an atmosphere among local primary and secondary schools that emphasizes how science and technology change lives and how innovation secures the future. Through knowledge dissemination, it deepens corporate-school collaboration.

“Going out”: Nuclear Power Science Popularization Brings the “First Lesson of the School Year” to Campus

On September 18, young volunteers from the Technical Department visited Wenhai Middle School in Wencheng Town, Taishan City. Following the science popularization plan titled “Passing the Torch — ‘Nuclear’ with You”, they delivered an engaging nuclear power science class to the students. The volunteers explained fundamental concepts of nuclear energy, the principles of how nuclear power plants operate, and the contributions of nuclear energy to social development in easy-to-understand language.

In June this year, TSNP launched the program of “Passing the Torch - ‘Nuclear’ with You”, with 21 young volunteers connecting 21 primary and secondary schools in Taishan City. This month, the team has already interacted with three schools, and the plan was also the implementation of the “Nuclear Casting the Future · One-Day Science Popularization Lecturer” initiative of CGN.

“Bringing in”: explore the nuclear power plant, and embark on an industrial study tour

On September 12th, graduate students majoring in mechanical engineering from Wuyi University embarked on a study tour on nuclear power. Students visited the science popularization exhibition hall, where they learned about the development history of TSNP as well as the principles of nuclear power generation, and participated in activities at the simulator training room. On September 16th, a group of teachers and students from Jiangmen Fengtai Primary School walked into TSNP, starting a journey of industrial research with both knowledge and fun. Xiao Kaihua from the Science and Technology Office and Fang Zitai from the Human Resources Department, based on their own work experiences, answered questions raised by the students, such as “How do nuclear power plants ensure safety?” and “What abilities are required to become a nuclear power engineer”, igniting students’ passion to delve into science in interaction.
