UAB startup LifeNuclear launches TheraGuide, a radiation safety guidance platform for radiopharmaceutical therapy

On August 7, LifeNuclear, a medical technology startup incubated by the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), announced the launch of TheraGuide, a digital platform designed to help patients undergoing radiopharmaceutical cancer treatment understand and follow radiation safety guidance after discharge. Radiopharmaceutical therapy uses radioactive drugs to target cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. As the therapy's applications expand, patients are typically required to read and follow complex written instructions after treatment, which can be difficult for some patients and caregivers to understand and execute. Dr. Remo George LifeNuclear was founded by UAB...

CGN Launches "Chunhe Plan" and Digital Science Popularization Platform "Nuclear Harmony Planet"

On August 7, at the 14th "8·7 Public Open Experience Day" of CGN, CGN released the "Chunhe Plan," a long-term mechanism for publicly recruiting science popularization "nuclear partners," and simultaneously launched the "Nuclear Harmony Planet" mini-program, the first digital science popularization platform in China's nuclear power industry. The Chunhe Plan aims to systematically expand the coverage scenarios of nuclear power science popularization and promote the accessibility of clean energy knowledge. Among its initiatives, villagers near nuclear power plants can become docents under the "Chunhe Dialect" program through training and assessment, earning compensation per service session; the "Chunhe Campus" program provides standardized training and certification for primary and secondary school teachers, equips them with dedicated teaching aids and course materials, and simultaneously opens up student study tour practice channels. On the same day, various CGN nuclear power bases and...

Self-developed "Dimeng" Engine Powers Trial Operation of Daya Bay Nuclear Power's Real-Scene 3D Twin Platform

Recently, the real-scene 3D twin platform for Daya Bay Nuclear Power, jointly developed by Daya Bay Nuclear Power and Zhike/Simulation Company under CGN Digital Technology, was launched for trial operation. Leveraging the self-developed Dimeng domestic 3D engine from the Simulation Company, the platform integrates multi-source data including 3D models, Gaussian splatting, forward design data, and GIS for the Daya Bay Nuclear Power base. The Dimeng engine is a graphics development tool independently developed by the Simulation Company to address the characteristics of the nuclear power industry, such as dense equipment, complex system interconnections, and scattered data, providing underlying capabilities including model rendering, spatial interaction, physical simulation, and data-driven processing. Building on this foundation, the Simulation Company, in collaboration with Daya Bay Nuclear Power, constructed the real-scene 3D twin platform...
