On June 1st, the final of the Guangdong Province College Student Nuclear Energy Knowledge Competition "Green Nuclear Energy, Assisting 'Dual Carbon'", guided by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, organized by the Guangdong Radiation Protection Association and China General Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., was held in Shunli at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base Cultural Center in Shenzhen. The student team led by Zhang Ke and Zhan Chungeng from the School of Environmental Science and Engineering won the runner up in the competition.
The theme of this knowledge competition is green nuclear energy to help achieve the goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality". Since its launch in September 2021, our school has actively carried out competition selection, and finally selected a team composed of three students, Huang Wentao, Lin Huaqiu, and Peng Shuwei, to represent our school in the competition. Under the guidance of the college teachers, the team actively prepares for the competition and strives to showcase the charm of the college students on the stage of the competition. Our school's representative team, as one of the nine teams to enter the finals, competes on the same stage as teams from universities such as Sun Yat sen University, South China Normal University, Jinan University, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen).
The final process progresses layer by layer and is interconnected. In the three stages of mandatory questions, competitive questions, and risk questions, our students fully mobilized their knowledge reserves, responded quickly to competitions, actively answered questions with composure, and flexibly adjusted their competition strategies, demonstrating excellent teamwork spirit. The exciting answer won continuous applause from the audience, and the competition atmosphere was tense and enthusiastic. In the end, our school team secured the second place in the total score with a score of 400 points and won the runner up.
From the preliminary competition to the final stage, our students have gained more knowledge about green, low-carbon, and environmental protection, as well as the importance of energy conservation and emission reduction through the promotion and participation in the competition. This has enhanced their understanding of "dual carbon" and nuclear energy, and made them promoters and practitioners of low-carbon living, contributing to the realization of the "dual carbon" goals.
