In 1958, the Department of Nuclear Science and Technology, formerly known as the Department of Nuclear Physics and Engineering, was established to cultivate talents for ""Two Bombs and One Star"". In 1970, USTC moved south to Hefei. Adhering to the spirit of ""Two Bombs, One Star"", in 1991, USTC established China's first national laboratory, the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, which was awarded the First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress. In 2007, it was rated as a national key discipline.
