CH80641: Nuclear and Radiochemistry

This module provides in-depth knowledge of nuclear reactions, radioactive materials, and their applications. It covers nuclear symbols, reaction balancing, decay series interpretation, and energy calculations. Students explore the chemistry, behavior, and environmental impact of radionuclides, as well as fission, fusion, and nuclear power principles. Applications in medicine, industry, and environmental tracing are discussed, alongside safety, dosimetry, and radiation hazards. Practical sessions emphasize radiation and radioisotope detection techniques.
