2011 Annual Report (PDF 9.19 MB) - Chinese Academy of Sciences

In terms of capital construction, a detailed investigation report
on geologic conditions of the observatory site was obtained in
March. In May, the construction headquarters entered into a
construction drawing design contract of site excavation with
manufacturer and performed quality inspection on drawing
design of site excavation in November. In terms of technology,
several R&D projects, including a prototype of the fully
aluminum-structured reflector unit, were carried out to make
preparations for the construction of the technological system.
Aerial Remote Sensing System
Construction work has been in full swing since January. Airplane
modification enters into preliminary design stage, and eight sets
of self-developed remote sensing devices have been designed and
put into production. Contract of two remote sensing devices was
signed; and in December, ground data comprehensive treatment
and management system was put into operation. A multi-use
remote sensing building started to be built.
National Protein Science Research (Shanghai)
Facility
With feasibility study got approved in July, preparation for
construction was carried out smoothly. Finishing procedures
of design, budget and construction permit, contractors of
construction-installation design and supervision, investigation,
pile foundation construction and investment supervision were
decided through biddings. In building light beam lines station
Progress of EAST
In 2010, physical experiment of the
Experimental Advanced Superconducting
Tokamak (EAST), the world’s first fully
superconducting tokamak, has recorded a
maximum plasma current of 1MA, highconfinement
mode of a duration over 60
times of energy confinement time, and
long-pulse diverted plasma discharges
of 0.25MA and the world’s longest
100-second duration.

for the Facility, contracts were
signed and initiated.
Spallation Neutron
Source(SNS)
The preparation work prior
to starting construction was
completed, and pre-study and
studies of key technology and
prototypes prefabrication for
each system were completed.
Leveling of construction site
started in April and entered into
side slope supporting stage by
the end of the year. Reviewed
by experts at home and
abroad and based on further
argumentation and optimal
design by project management
department, the cost of overall
construction increased, and a
revised fearibility study was resubmitted.
About 115 persons
recruited for the project were
settled down in Dongguan.
