Il corso si prefigge lo scopo di introdurre lo studente ai concetti base della chimica nucleare, alla chimica e proprietà degli elementi radioattivi e ad argomenti di importanza pratica strettamente legati.
The course covers the basic principles of nuclear chemistry and some related fields of practical importance, and consists of the following sections: radioactive decay, ionizing radiation (properties, measurement), nuclear reactions, radioactive tracers, nuclear fission and fusion, principles of nuclear power generation. Chemical properties of transuranic and transactinide elements. Part of the lectures will examine some practical applications of radioisotopes (archeological and geological dating and nuclear medicine. The problem of radioactive waste management will be discussed.
La verifica delle conoscenze costituisce l’oggetto della valutazione della prova di esame prevista alla fine del corso
Valutation of the final text
Al termine del corso:
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to discuss with competence the principal properties of the atomic nucleus and its reactivity. Moreover, the student will be able to discuss the most important problems involving nuclear energy based on solid concepts.
