  • Abstract
    Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is a Chinese mega-science project to build the largest single dish radio telescope in the world. The first light of FAST is expected in 2016. In order to protect the radio environment for FAST site, the local government has promised to establish a radio quiet zone of 30 km diameter, with the Dawodang depression in Guizhou province as the centre. The legislation of this radio quiet zone is underway.
