- Course objectives
- In the laboratory course in nuclear chemistry students get acquainted, by way of performing practical labwork, with basic methods of the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation, handling of sources of ionizing radiation, properties of ionizing radiation, separation and characterization of selected radionuclides, and activation analysis. They will also be instructed on the Czech law a regulations concerning handling sources of ionizing radiation, and with principles of radiation protection.
