The purpose of this book is to emphasize the importance of the existence
of the radioactive gas radon in the environment and to make this natural
phenomenon a top issue because radon is included in class A human
carcinogenesis.
This book should serve to attract the attention of young people
interested in the natural sciences and could be used by teachers to disseminate
nuclear knowledge to the young generation. It is hoped that more compilations of
this kind from other nuclear areas will follow to enhance public awareness of
the many beneficial contributions of nuclear techniques. Topics covered
includes: Cosmochemistry, Methods And Method Validation, Environmental
Applications, Medical Applications, Industrial Applications, Non-destructive
Testing, And Analysis of Art Objects, Forensic Applications, Archaeological
Investigations.
This note covers the following topics: Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Equipment, Non Aqueous Processes, Complexation Chemistry and Precipitation /
Crystallization Processes, Modeling and Simulation of Nuclear Fuel Recycling
Systems, Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Its Chemistry, Mining, Milling, Conversion, and
Enrichment of Uranium Ores, Reactors, Fuels.
