Specifications include, but are not limited to: Course Descriptions CHEM 5XXX: Nuclear Physics Concepts: This course introduces the fundamental concepts describing the behavior of unstable nuclei. These concepts include radioactive emissions, radionuclide generation, and interaction with the physical world. It also covers the production and modes of decay of radionuclides, the concepts of radioactive decay and equilibrium, and radiation’s interactions with matter. Additionally, this course discusses the occurrence and importance of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides relative to their use and importance to the environment and human health. Deliverable: 10 hours of recorded lectures covering the topics outlined above, with supporting slideshows and materials. CHEM 5XXX/5XXX: Radiochemistry Separation Concepts I/II: These courses cover the chemical and physical manipulation samples to enable the identification and measurement of radionuclides. These concepts focus strongly on practical inorganic and analytical chemistry techniques, including sample handling, sample dissolution/destruction, oxidation state manipulation, equilibrium reactions, and analyte preconcentration. Additionally, these courses will address the analytical implications of various sample types, including matrix and radionuclides interferences, and various techniques for addressing these issues. Deliverable: 20 hours of recorded lectures covering the topics outlined above, with supporting slideshows and materials.
