A cesium atomic fountain clock is under development at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in China. In this paper, we describe the construction of the entire fountain clock system and report the preliminary results. A frequency stability of 2.5×10τ has been achieved by intercomparison with a hydrogen maser, and the factors limiting the frequency stability are also discussed.
