Abstract
The development and utilization of nuclear energy and nuclear radiation began in the late 1930s, which deepened the understanding of nuclear radiation and its interactions with materials. Applications of such knowledge to modern scientific and technological research, to explore new fields, interpret new phenomena, and confirm new substances, gradually generated an emergent branch of science and technology with rich connotations and cross-fertilization with multiple disciplines, namely nuclear science and technology or nuclear technology for short. The build-up of nuclear technology is a milestone in the history of human civilization in the twentieth century and one of the significant symbols of social modernization.
