The Needs – How You’ll Benefit from This Course » View Commentary
Many in both undergraduate and graduate studies have not had a great deal of formal academic training in radiochemistry. 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 which may have resulted in less than adequate training. The need for formal, world-class hands-on radiochemistry training is urgent.
