Elements of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen
Atom, Many-Electron Atoms, Nuclear Properties, Force Between Nucleons,
Radioactive Decay.
Nuclear and Radiochemistry is specialised branch of
chemistry that helps to shape the orientation of chemist and analyst to be able
to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse radiation from radioactive
samples.The study units in this course are as follow : Natural Radioactivity,
Radioactive Decay Processes and Nature of Radioactivity, Nuclear Models,
Energetic of Nuclear Radiation, Principle and Measurement of Radioactivity,
Application of Radioactivity, Radiation Hazards.

The purpose of this book is to emphasize the importance of the existence
of the radioactive gas radon in the environment and to make this natural
phenomenon a top issue because radon is included in class A human
carcinogenesis.

The study of radiation
effects has developed as a major field of materials science from the beginning,
approximately 70 years ago. Its rapid development has been driven by two strong
influences. The properties of the crystal defects and the materials containing
them may then be studied. The book is distributed in four sections: Ionic
Materials; Biomaterials; Polymeric Materials and Metallic Materials.
This book should serve to attract the attention of young people
interested in the natural sciences and could be used by teachers to disseminate
nuclear knowledge to the young generation. It is hoped that more compilations of
this kind from other nuclear areas will follow to enhance public awareness of
the many beneficial contributions of nuclear techniques. Topics covered
includes: Cosmochemistry, Methods And Method Validation, Environmental
Applications, Medical Applications, Industrial Applications, Non-destructive
Testing, And Analysis of Art Objects, Forensic Applications, Archaeological
Investigations.
The Living Textbook of Nuclear
Chemistry is an attempt to gather on a single website a number of supplemental
materials related to the study and practice of nuclear chemistry.
