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.
Nuclear and Radiochemistry is specialised branch of
chemistry that helps to shape the orientation of chemist and analyst to be able
to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse radiation from radioactive
samples.The study units in this course are as follow : Natural Radioactivity,
Radioactive Decay Processes and Nature of Radioactivity, Nuclear Models,
Energetic of Nuclear Radiation, Principle and Measurement of Radioactivity,
Application of Radioactivity, Radiation Hazards.
