China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) unit CNNC 404 Co., Ltd said it has
developed domestically produced krypton isotope thickness‑gauge sources, marking
a shift from prior import dependence. The unit said it has multiple
specifications with independent intellectual property to serve industrial
thickness gauging, instrument calibration and tracer monitoring. CNNC
highlighted applications in quality control for new‑energy batteries, specialty
paper and thin films, signalling improved supply security for China’s high‑end
manufacturing supply chain.
