This course introduces fundamental nuclear properties in radiation and
radiochemistry. Concepts of the nuclei, radioactive decay, and nuclear reactions
are examined. The use of quantum mechanics in the development of nuclear models
and equations are explored. The basic physics involved in the interaction of
radiation with matter are presented. This course introduces fundamental chemical properties in radiation and radiochemistry. The use of stability constants and the relationship between speciation, kinetics and thermodynamics is presented. The influence of radiolysis on the chemistry of radioisotopes is discussed. Radioisotope production and use are presented. Fundamentals of radiochemical separations are explained. last update: Monday, 27 September 2004
