On May 19th, the Inspection Team organized by the Radiation Source Safety Supervision Division of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment conducted an on-site inspection of the radiation safety permits for two newly built cyclotrons at the HFCIM. Senior leaders and experts from nine institutions, including the Radiation Source Safety Supervision Division of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the East China Nuclear and Radiation Safety Supervision Station of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ecology and Environment Department of Anhui Province, the University of Science and Technology of China, the Radiation Environmental Supervision Station of Anhui Province, the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Shanghai Radiation Environmental Safety Technology Center, participated in this inspection.

Due to the impact of the covid-19, the inspection team conducted a review of the HFCIM's radiation workplaces, radiation protection measures, and application materials through a combination of on-site inspections and video inspections. The inspection team concluded that the personnel and layout of the company's radiation work were reasonable, the installation and configuration of radiation safety protection facilities were in place and effectively operational, and the radiation safety management was normal and orderly. HFICM's radiation safety measures were deemed to be in compliance with the requirements for radiation safety permit management.

To meet the needs of customers and the market, HFCIM, building on the development of the superconducting proton therapy system, has expanded its product development to include high-current 14 MeV and 240 MeV cyclotron. To facilitate this expansion, a dedicated accelerator commissioning room was constructed in accordance with environmental assessment requirements. Currently, the high-current 14 MeV accelerator is ready at the site, and the 240 MeV cyclotron has completed magnetic field measurements and overall integration. It is expected that after obtaining the radiation safety permit in early July, the commissioning work for both the high-current 14 MeV cyclotron and the 240 MeV superconducting cyclotron will be conducted in stages.
