Radio- and Radiation Chemistry Section
The Radio- and Radiation Chemistry Section welcomes anyone interested in following scientific, applied, and/or societal developments in the field of the natural occurrence, production, measurement, and application of radionuclides. The potential applications of radiochemistry are extremely broad. Broadly speaking, four main areas of application can be identified: Nuclear Energy, Technology, Environment, and Health.
