    On November 9, an industrial production base project with an investment of 250 million yuan and an annual output of 50 tons of boron isotope series products was laid and started in Changxing Island Economic Zone
    .
    After the completion of the base, it will become the world's only full-industry chain enterprise producing such products, and it will also be the largest high-tech production project with first-class technology
    .
    According to the project construction unit, the planned construction area of ​​the boron isotope industrialized production base project is 80,000 square meters, which mainly produces boron isotope series products, which are mainly used in high-tech fields such as nuclear power and military industry
    .
    After the project is put into production, it can achieve an annual output of 50 tons of boron isotope series products, which can basically meet the needs of China's nuclear technology field for related products, and can achieve annual sales revenue of 800 million to 1 billion yuan
    .
    The entire project will rely on Liaoning Province's fine chemical common technology innovation platform, and strive to create a complete chain of technological project incubation, pilot testing and industrialization, and build a high-tech demonstration park integrating production, learning, research, and use
    .
    It is understood that there are two natural isotopic mixtures of boron in nature: boron 10 and boron 11, but the abundance (content) of boron 10 isotopes in nature is less than 20%, so the ability of neutron absorption is limited, and in some specific applications In the field, the designed neutron capture cross section cannot be satisfied
    .
    The main content of this project is to artificially change the content of boron 10 isotope through special methods (this process is called enrichment) to obtain enriched boron products with strong neutron absorption capacity, which belong to the field of isotopes and new materials
