Introduction to Nuclear Chemistry and Fuel Cycle Separations
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.
This
note is intended to provide a broad understanding of how different types of
radiation deposit energy, including the creation and behavior of secondary
radiations; of how radiation affects cells and why the different types of
radiation have very different biological effects. Also explains the effects of
radiation on biological systems including DNA damage, in vitro cell survival
models and in vivo mammalian systems.
This note provides an
introduction to the basic properties of ionizing radiations and their uses in
medicine, industry, science, and environmental studies. Also discusses natural
and man-made radiation sources, energy deposition and dose calculations, and
various physical, chemical, and biological processes and effects of radiation,
with examples of their uses, and principles of radiation protection.
This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen
Atom, Many-Electron Atoms, Nuclear Properties, Force Between Nucleons,
Radioactive Decay.
This book explains the basic
principles of nuclear chemistry at the level of undergraduate college students
who has some familiarity with scientific concepts and terminology.
