我国辐射育种是五十年代末开始的,在党的领导下,从无到有,从小到大迅速发展起来的。一九五七年中国农业科学院建立起我国第一个原子能利用研究室,四年后发展成研究所。各省、市、自治区也先后建立了原子能所(室),部分高等农业院校也开设有农业生物物理专业。为培养原子能农业应用专业科技人员,一九五七至一九六○年举办了全国性专业短训班五期,培训出四百多名技术骨干,各省、市也先后培训了一批技术力员,为我国在农业上开展原子能应用奠定了基础。据统计目前全国开展辐射育种研究的专业单位约七十一个,从事辐射育种研究人员达四百三十多名。在开展辐射育种的实验设施和研究手段,也逐步充实和完善。全国已建有钴源(四十五处)、中子发生器、还有正在建设和安装的~(137)铯源和~(137)铯—γ Radiation breeding in our country started in the late 1950s and rapidly developed from scratch, under the leadership of the party, from an early age to an early age. In 1957, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences set up the first laboratory of atomic energy utilization in our country and became an institute four years later. Atomic energy institutes (chambers) have also been successively set up in various provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Some agricultural colleges and universities have also opened specialized agricultural biophysics. In order to cultivate professional scientists and technicians applying atomic energy agriculture, a nationwide professional short-term training class was held from 1957 to 1960, training more than 400 technicians, and provinces and municipalities also successively trained a group of technical personnel Members, for our country in agriculture to carry out atomic energy application laid the foundation. According to statistics, there are about 71 specialized units conducting radiation breeding research in the country and more than 430 researchers engaged in radiation breeding. In carrying out radiation breeding experimental facilities and research tools, but also gradually enrich and improve. The country has built a cobalt source (forty-five), a neutron generator, and a ~ (137) cesium source and ~ (137) cesium-gamma under construction and installation
