The old man who was not trim and was obsessed with his career was gone.
On January 19, Pan Ziqiang, an expert in radiation protection and environmental protection, a recipient of the Meritorious Medal of the Chinese Nuclear Industry, honorary director of the Science and Technology Committee of CNNC, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, died of illness in Beijing, completing an extraordinary life at the age of 85.

Pan Ziqiang, born in 1936, is a native of Yiyang, Hunan. He graduated from the Department of Technical Physics of Peking University in 1957 and joined the China National Nuclear Corporation after graduation. In 1997, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Pan Ziqiang has the stubbornness in the bones of Hunan people. Someone once commented that his persistence and persistence are rare among intellectuals, whether it is the majority or the minority, as long as he thinks it is right, he always insists. To some extent, the stubbornness of "not in line with the trend and not understanding the current affairs" has made his sense of innovation and pioneering spirit, so that he can always stand at the forefront of radiation protection.
In 1963, Pan Ziqiang put forward the mainland's physical framework for practical health care, and completed a number of monitoring technologies and methods in ensuring the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, making significant contributions to the establishment, development and development of the mainland's radiation protection discipline system and infrastructure. In the 1970s, he took the lead in carrying out, participating in and guiding the completion of the "National Environmental Natural Radioactivity Level Survey" and presided over the completion of the "30-year Radiation Environmental Quality Evaluation of China's Nuclear Industry". Articles such as "Formulating the Principles and Main Numerical Limits of Radiation Protection for Nuclear Power Plants" have played an important role in the environmental impact review of the site selection of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, and the systematic research on "energy and environment" that started from then and continues to this day has provided a technical basis for the environmental impact assessment of nuclear power in the mainland.
He actively promoted the establishment of the "radiation accident and emergency response system", made pioneering work in the establishment of radiation protection regulations and standard systems, and presided over the compilation of "national radiation protection standards" for many times. He put forward the view that "radioactive waste management should be centered on geological disposal", laid the foundation for the safety management of radioactive waste in the mainland, and did a lot of fruitful work for the cultivation of radiation protection talents.
