Biography

Wang Fangding, male, Han nationality, is a native of Zigong, Sichuan Province. He graduated from the Chemistry Engineering Department of Sichuan Chemistry Institute in 1953.

Early in his career, Wang analyzed uranium ore and treatment research. In the late 1950s, he studied the emissive chemistry work of nuclear development and researched neutron source material for the solicitation of chain type nuclear reactions of atomic bombs.

He later assisted in the establishment of emissive chemistry diagnosis methods in nuclear tests and researched the chemical state of multivalent state fission products and the charge distribution of spontaneous fission. In the 1990s, he explored chemical and technical treatments for middle and long lifetime fission products after nuclear fuels.

Wang was a researcher with the China Atomic Energy Scientific Researcher Institute and was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999.
