Completion of the course will increase students' knowledge as follows:
1. Students will acquire basic knowledge, principles and definitions related to the issue of radioactive material in the environment
2. Students will be well versed in the issues of the effects of ionizing radiation on the environment
3. Students will be able to objectively evaluate current issues, such as the relationship between nuclear energy and radioactive waste to the environment.

basics of general and physical chemistry or physics

Lectures 2h/week, seminars 3 h/week

The examination is oral, the knowledge in the extent of lectures is evaluated.

1. Basics of Nuclear Chemistry – history, elementary particles, atomic nucleus.
2. Radioactivity, nuclear transformations and reactions.
3. Ionizing radiation and radionuclides in the environment.
4. Technology and application of nuclear chemistry.
5. Biological effects of ionizing radiation.
6. Monitoring of ionizing radiation in the environment.
7. Technology of nuclear fuel cycle I – uranium mining.
8. Technology of nuclear fuel cycle II – nuclear power plants.
9. Technology of nuclear fuel cycle III – spent nuclear fuel treatment.
10. Technology of nuclear fuel cycle IV – decommissioning.
11. Radioactive Waste Management I – Technology and treatment of low level radioactive waste.
12. Radioactive Waste Management II – Technology and treatment of high level radioactive waste.
13. Radioactive Waste Management III – Storage and disposal of radioactive waste.

The students will acquire basic knowledge, principles and definitions related to radioactivity and ionizing radiation. With this, they will be familiar with technology and applications of nuclear chemistry. They will understand the occurrence and effect of ionizing radiation in the environment from both natural and industrial sources. Students will be well versed in the issue of all parts of nuclear fuel cycle and radioactive waste management. After completing the course, students should be able to objectively evaluate current issues of radioecology and relationship between nuclear technology and the environment.
