The application of nuclear technology has brought many conveniences to people's lives, covering multiple fields such as healthcare, industry, agriculture, environmental protection, public safety, and transportation.

1. Medical field

Tumor diagnosis and treatment: Radioisotopes and radiation technology in nuclear technology are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. For example, iodine-131 can be used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, while ECT imaging helps doctors determine the location and size of tumors through radioactive isotope imaging technology. In addition, medical linear accelerators use X and gamma rays for radiation therapy of tumors, achieving the goal of treating tumors without surgery.
Other medical applications: Nuclear technology is also applied in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, treatment of orthopedic diseases, and organ transplantation. For example, radioimmunoassay technology can accurately determine trace components in blood, providing important basis for medical diagnosis.

2. Industrial sector

Non destructive testing and irradiation sterilization: Nuclear technology is used for non-destructive testing, detecting defects and cracks in materials through radioactive isotopes. Meanwhile, irradiation sterilization technology utilizes radioactive radiation to kill bacteria and parasites in food, extending its shelf life.
Resource exploration and special material production: The radiation processing technology and detection technology of nuclear technology have also played an important role in resource exploration, cable modification, chemical processing, and special material production, promoting progress in aerospace, military, and other industrial fields.

3. Agricultural sector

Radiation induced breeding: Nuclear technology has changed traditional breeding methods by inducing seeds to develop characteristics such as insect resistance, disease resistance, and drought resistance, reducing crop planting conditions and increasing yield.

4. Environmental protection field

Pollution detection and control: Nuclear technology allows regulatory personnel to conduct radiation detection and tracking of pollution in air, water, soil, etc., and use the generated radiation to harmless treat harmful pollutants, resulting in better results compared to traditional methods.

5. Public safety field

Security technology: Nuclear technology is applied in the field of public safety, such as CT security machines, human X-ray inspection systems, pedestrian/luggage radioactive material detection systems, etc. These devices help security personnel quickly and accurately identify dangerous materials, ensuring people's travel safety.

6. Transportation sector

Nuclear powered transportation: Although still in the research and development stage, nuclear powered transportation vehicles (such as nuclear powered cars, nuclear powered planes, nuclear powered rockets, etc.) are expected to become important transportation vehicles in the future, with longer range, greater payload capacity, and lower operating costs.

The application of nuclear technology has brought significant convenience to people's lives in multiple fields, improving medical quality, industrial efficiency, agricultural output, environmental protection capabilities, and public safety levels. It is expected to further promote the development of transportation in the future.
