The Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Radioprotection, and Radiochemistry

Specializations: Synthetic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Radiochemistry

We are active in radiochemistry and in radiopharmacy.

Molecular imaging and radiochemistry: the importance of instrumentation.

Radiochemistry, Speciation and Imaging Laboratory (LRSI)

A combination of radiochemistry and radiation chemistry is used to study nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.

Nuclear chemists combine their knowledge of radiochemistry and radiation chemistry to study nuclear reactions, including fission and fusion.

It gives them a solid background in the major scientific fields covered by nuclear energy, i.e. neutronics, thermal hydraulics, electricity, chemistry, radiation chemistry, and materials engineering.

Radiation chemistry is the study of the chemical effects of radiation on matter; this is very different to radiochemistry as no radioactivity needs to be present in the material which is being chemically changed by the radiation.
