核能是20世纪人类的一项伟大发现,并已取得了十分重要的成果。1942年12月2日,著名科学家费米领导几十位科学家,在美国芝加哥大学成功启动了世界上第一座核反应堆(图1,纪念第一次原子核链式反应25周年,意大利,1967),标志着人类从此进入了核能时代。当核能进入人们的生产和生活后,一种通过原子核变化而产生的新能源从此诞生。核能问世前,科学的进程可追溯到19世纪末至20世纪初。19世纪 Nuclear energy is a great discovery of mankind in the 20th century and has achieved very important results. On December 2, 1942, famous scientist Fermi led dozens of scientists and successfully launched the world’s first nuclear reactor at the University of Chicago in the United States (Figure 1, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the first nuclear chain reaction, Italy, 1967). Marked that mankind entered the nuclear energy era. After the nuclear energy entered the people’s production and life, a new energy source produced through the nuclear change came into being. Before the advent of nuclear energy, the process of science dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 19th century
