Many applications
A fairly common application of atomic energy in Da Nang city is the application of radiation and radioactive isotopes in medical examination and treatment with many advanced techniques of nuclear medicine, oncology, radiotherapy...
For example, Da Nang Oncology Hospital has used radiation equipment such as: X-ray system, computed tomography in disease diagnosis at the Department of Diagnostic Imaging; using radioactive substances in disease diagnosis and treatment at the Department of Nuclear Medicine; using close-in radiation sources, linear accelerators at the Department of Radiological Engineering...
Nuclear energy is also used to create medicinal and agricultural varieties, raw materials for food production...
At the University of Education - Danang University, Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Dang Mau, Head of the Faculty of Biology, Agriculture and Environment, and his colleagues have implemented research projects to build a Spirulina microalgae farming model suitable for Danang's climate conditions and create products from biomass, transfer technology, and bring products to market...
Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Dang Mau said that the research team had selected and domesticated the species, so the algae could adapt well. Next, the team researched and perfected the technology and model for cultivating and producing algae; focusing on nutritional formulas, optimizing ecological conditions, applying automated production equipment and controlling processes and quality.
Dr. Cao Van Chung, representative of the Center for Research and Development of Radiation Technology (Department of Science and Technology) said that the University of Education - Danang University is very dynamic, a bright spot in research and application of atomic energy, especially creating mutations using radiation on some crops (microalgae, rice varieties...) in addition to training in nuclear engineering.
Some other facilities in the city have activities of surveying and applying atomic energy in the agricultural field such as: mutation by radiation, application of radiation preparations on some crops...
In addition, there are more than 5 industrial enterprises applying techniques and equipment mainly imported from abroad to take microchips and processing chips. Along with that, there are up to 70 seafood companies applying atomic energy to preserve products, of which 3 large seafood companies apply irradiation...
“In Da Nang, the application of nuclear energy in the medical field accounts for the majority of human resources and equipment. At the same time, there have been some applications of nuclear energy in the screening of chips, microcircuits, cables..., this measure is very important for chip production. In general, the application of nuclear energy in the city has been deployed in the fields of health, agriculture, industry, environment... In the coming time, the city needs to develop and promote the application of nuclear energy with specific orientations, programs, and roadmaps to serve effective socio-economic development", said Dr. Cao Van Chung.
Huge potential
Currently, the city's Department of Science and Technology is building a program to apply atomic energy to serve the socio-economic development of Da Nang city in the period of 2026 - 2030 to promote and expand the application of atomic energy in the fields of agriculture, industry, environment, health...
Accordingly, in the field of health and environment, the city will control and manage radioactive activities in the nuclear medicine treatment areas of hospitals with applications; propose technical solutions to ensure radiation safety in the area...
In the industrial field, research and design of X-ray irradiation machine models to serve low-dose irradiation needs; design and manufacture high-resolution X-ray irradiation equipment systems, combining artificial intelligence applications to test the quality of electronic circuit boards...
In the agricultural sector, the city applies nuclear technology and artificial intelligence to authenticate the geographical origin and distinguish the cultivation methods of Ngoc Linh ginseng; researches and creates new salt-tolerant rice varieties using the method of irradiation mutation...
According to Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology Le Thi Thuc, recently, the Department of Science and Technology and experts have assessed the current status of atomic energy application in the fields of agriculture, industry, health, environment and the need for application deployment in the city. The Department is building a program to apply atomic energy to serve the socio-economic development of Da Nang city in the period of 2026-2030 to develop agricultural and industrial production and improve the quality of life of the people. The program includes a list of specific and feasible tasks to be implemented effectively in the coming time.
“The potential for applying nuclear energy in the fields of medicine, agriculture, industry and environment is huge and brings great impacts to life, economy and society. Having a systematic energy application program and appropriate investment will bring great benefits to the city,” said Ms. Le Thi Thuc.
