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 Actinide/Nuclear Chemistry. 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
  • Develop a knowledge of Nuclear/ Radiochemistry principles needed for decision making in the nuclear forensic arena
  • 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
