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.

Carolien Bastiaanssen wins the Vuurvliegen Leiden
Around 250 pupils from the Willem van Veenschool, Dalton de Leeuwerik, Hofdijckschool and Dukdalf primary schools in the Leiden region have declared researcher Carolien Bastiaanssen of the Netherlands Cancer Institute the winner of the ‘Vuurvliegen’ science battle in Leiden. After a thrilling contest against four other scientists, she managed to present her research to the children in the clearest and most convincing way. She compared genes in cells to a World Cup football team. A cell only works if every gene plays its own part.
