Nuclear Chemistry and Nuclear Technology
5226Selection - Engineering Sector
Course Description
The aim of the course is to acquire basic knowledge about (a) the properties of atomic nuclei, the nuclear modifications and the chemical phenomena associated with them, (b) the technological applications of radionuclides, (c) the basic processes and techniques that are used in the nuclear industry/technology - from isotope separation methods to nuclear power reactors, and (d) nuclear fuel cycles to nuclear reactors, or radionuclides to the environment. The area of Nuclear Chemistry includes the study of the chemistry of natural and artificial radioactive elements, as well as the heavier elements (Z> 83, actinides, etc.), for which the decomposition of radioactive elements is an essential part of their properties. Nuclear Chemical Technology is primarily concerned with the study of chemical engineering processes and the treatment of chemical problems in the nuclear industry, which are dominated by chemical engineering processes that make the presence of a Chemical Engineer indispensable and crucial.
