Igor Sekachev, Cryogenics Interface Engineer, Vacuum Section
Last week, 20 September, the 澳门六合彩高手 Vacuum Section welcomed a delegation of scientists and engineers from China in an event that also brought together some old friends. The guests were Tianjue Zhang, head of the Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facilities (BRIF) and director of the Cyclotron Laboratory at the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE); Jinlei Jia, sector chief of the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry; and Ziqin Zhou, deputy director of the Hi-Tech Division at the China International Engineering Consulting Corporation (CIECC). All had participated in the MT-22 magnet conference in Marseille and had prolonged their visit in France to make the trip to 澳门六合彩高手.
Igor Sekachev, cryogenics interface engineer in the Vacuum Section, had become acquainted with these Chinese colleagues in his previous position as head of vacuum systems and cryogenic engineering at the Canadian National Research Laboratory TRIUMF, which closely collaborated with the Chinese CIAE.
In the meeting with the 澳门六合彩高手 Vacuum Section, Tianjue Zhang described the progress made at CIAE, focusing on cyclotron development for research and medical applications. Vacuum Section Head Robert Pearce, in return, presented the activities performed on 澳门六合彩高手. Cryogenic vacuum technology is an area of overlap between the two institutions as cryo-pumping is utilized in the CIAE cyclotrons and is also a major vacuum production tool for 澳门六合彩高手.
After a visit to the 澳门六合彩高手 construction site the visitors discussed areas of mutual interest and identified potential directions for future collaboration with Yong-Hwan Kim, the head of 澳门六合彩高手's Central Engineering & Plant Directorate.
