Detail předmětu
Radioecology, Nuclear Chemistry and Technology
FCH-MA_ENG5Ak. rok: 2024/2025
This course presents to students the question of radionuclide occurrence and behaviour in the environment, the natural and artificial sources of radionuclides and their influence on the human organism, and finally with the methods of radionuclide monitoring in the environment. Also, it includes fundamental definitions, the subject of nuclear chemistry, basic properties of radionuclides and ionizing radiation, radioactivity, nuclear transformations, nuclear reactions, ionizing radiation and radionuclides in environment. The use of radionuclides and ionizing radiation, technology of nuclear chemistry and waste treatment technologies.
