Core Viewpoint - The nuclear industry is a high-tech strategic sector and a cornerstone of national security, with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) positioning itself as a leader in international nuclear technology development, emphasizing energy security, green transition, nuclear cooperation, and enhancing public welfare [1][2]. Group 1: Technological Advancements - CNNC is advancing China's nuclear energy strategy through a "three-step" approach involving thermal reactors, fast reactors, and fusion reactors, with a total of 41 units of the "Hualong One" technology in operation, approved, or under construction, making it the largest fleet of third-generation nuclear power technology globally [1]. - The successful development and construction of the "Linglong One" modular multi-purpose small reactor and the breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology with the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor achieving temperatures exceeding 200 million degrees Celsius highlight CNNC's commitment to technological innovation [1]. Group 2: Environmental Impact - Under the "dual carbon" goals, the value of nuclear energy is increasingly recognized, with each "Hualong One" unit generating over 10 billion kilowatt-hours annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 8.16 million tons, equivalent to planting over 70 million trees [2]. - CNNC operates 26 nuclear power units, contributing to a stable and clean energy structure in China, with projects like the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station providing heating to urban residents and the "Harmonious One" steam supply project reducing coal consumption by 400,000 tons annually [2]. Group 3: Global Expansion and Cooperation - CNNC has exported three "Hualong One" nuclear power units overseas, with the first unit generating 20 billion kilowatt-hours annually, meeting the electricity needs of 2 million households [2]. - The company has opened 12 large nuclear research facilities to international collaboration, successfully exporting nuclear power units, research reactors, and subcritical devices to seven countries, with operations spanning over 170 countries and regions [2]. Group 4: Social Benefits - CNNC is enhancing public welfare through the application of nuclear technology in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and industry, addressing the domestic shortage of medical isotopes and improving living standards through diverse applications such as sterilization and environmental remediation [3]. - The company aims to continue its high-quality development path, reinforcing the value of the Chinese brand in the global market [3].

Core Points - The National Science Foundation (NSF) has halted all funding for research projects, both new and existing, as part of a broader shift in government policy under the Trump administration [1][5][15] - This decision follows a new policy introduced by NSF leadership that requires staff to filter out research proposals that do not align with the agency's priority projects [2][3] - The NSF has already terminated 1,040 funding grants, amounting to approximately $739 million, with a significant number of projects being cut due to their focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion [5][15] Funding and Budget Cuts - The NSF's funding situation is dire, with only about 25% of the budget approved for the fiscal year 2025 received so far, raising concerns about future funding availability [15] - The Trump administration has proposed a budget cut of at least 50% for the NSF, which translates to over $4 billion, reflecting a shift in research priorities towards artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear energy [15][16] - The NSF is expected to face significant reductions in funding for climate, clean energy, and social science projects, while areas like artificial intelligence and quantum information may remain unaffected [16][17] Internal Reactions and Consequences - There is a growing atmosphere of disappointment and concern within the NSF, with some staff members resigning in response to the new policies [4][5] - Researchers across various fields have expressed outrage and confusion over the abrupt termination of their funding, with many feeling powerless against the NSF's decisions [9][10][11] - The NSF's actions are anticipated to have long-term negative impacts on the scientific community and the future of U.S. technological leadership [17][18]
