    26 November 2021, Discharge of treated Fukushima nuclear accident contaminated water: macroscopic and microscopic simulations has been published on National Science Review, which is a full affirmation of the students and teachers of the subject group who are generous and rigorous in their learning! NSR officer micro-push high-quality and efficient, reflecting China's outstanding leading journals of the super-class level! Thanks to the director of singhua University's Institute for Ocean Engineering (IOE), Zhang Jianmin's guidance and support, thanks to the editorial department and reviewers for their high evaluation!

    The results of this study are of great significance for the prediction of long-term spread of pollutants, the rational response of nuclear wastewater discharge plans and the monitoring of subsequent radioactive material concentrations. In the future, we will continue to deepen our research, Further explore the long-term impact of the discharge of nuclear waste water on the whole ocean and mankind, and provide important decision support for the country and the world to deal with the nuclear wastewater crisis!

    Note: National Science Review , whose impact factor in 2021 is 17.275, is the top journal in the multi-discipline domain. For more information, please see the introduction video.

    Congratulations to Li Yanyue on successfully defending her Master of Engineering Management professional degree thesis at Tsinghua University!

    Li Yanyue's paper is titled "Research on Progress Management of Existing Public Building Renovation Projects Based on PDCA-CCPM". This research addresses the challenges in progress management of existing public building renovation projects by innovatively integrating key chain technology (CCPM) with the PDCA cycle, and has established a PDCA-CCPM progress management mechanism. Key influencing factors were identified through multiple methods, and a two-layer architecture of "project layer - organization layer" was designed. Empirical verification shows that this mechanism has effectively addressed the issue of progress, achieving both an earlier construction period and a simultaneous improvement in quality and safety. This research not only offers a new theoretical integration paradigm, providing a systematic solution for transformation projects, but also aims to drive the improvement of organizational management maturity through project accumulation, possessing both theoretical innovation value and practical guiding significance.

    Recently, the "Atoms, Elements and Us" science enlightenment dual picture book, which I participated in compiling, won the first prize of the 36th Excellent Science and Technology Books of the Ten Northern Provinces (Autonomous Regions and Municipalities). 

    This set of educational picture books, published by Beijing Science and Technology Press, is specially designed for children aged 3 to 8. It consists of two volumes: "Atomic Transformation: The Power of Nuclear Energy" and "Where Are the Elements: I Come from the Stars". In terms of design, it features hardcover binding, large illustrations, and matte coated paper, ensuring both comfort and durability during reading, while also stimulating children's curiosity through visually striking images. In terms of content, the books adopt an innovative "microscopic-macroscopic" dual perspective narrative structure, transforming abstract scientific concepts into concrete expressions that children can understand. 

    The awarding of this book is an important recognition of popular science creation and science communication work. We look forward to sowing the seeds of scientific exploration in children's hearts through this entertaining and educational approach, laying a foundation for their future interdisciplinary learning and improvement of scientific literacy.
