How You'll Benefit from This Course
Many in both undergraduate and graduate studies have not had a great deal of formal academic training in the fundamentals of nuclear concepts. There is an urgent need for formal education on both nuclear and radiochemical concepts. In the past, many learning opportunities at nuclear sites have consisted of on the job training as well as safety related training. This training does fulfill its intended purpose.
In this course you will:
- Consult with seasoned experts on your separations problems and challenges
- This course is designed and dedicated to military personnel that will need to fulfill critical roles during a nuclear incident
- Develop a knowledge of Nuclear/ Radiochemistry principles needed for decision making in the nuclear battlefield
- Better understand which instrument techniques meet a specific radioanalytical need
- Receive references to deepen your understanding of nuclear concepts and fundamentals
- Learn methods of optimizing nuclear forensic operations
