NucE 405 Nuclear and Radiochemistry
Course
Description
The objective of this course is to introduce you to the theories and
phenomena of nuclear science. The level of the course is such that you will
obtain enough depth of understanding so that you can apply nuclear science
principles to your field of interest. The course focuses on the fundamental
ideas in the following areas of study:
- Phenomena of nuclear properties and structure
- Kinetics of radioactive decay
- Theory of radioactive decay
- Theory and phenomena of nuclear reactions
- Interactions of radiation with matter and biological effects of
radiation
In this particular course, you have the opportunity to video tutorials,
which we developed during a year-long project to enable you to learn
material that is usually taught to first-year graduate students.
