We regularly offer one undergraduate and two graduate level courses in nuclear and radiochemistry at the University of Missouri. Chemistry 361 is taught every spring semester, Chemistry 461 is taught every other year, and Chemistry 462 is typically offered every three years.
- Introduction to Radiochemistry (CHE 361) An introductory course in the applications of radionuclides in chemistry. Key topics include principles of radioactive decay, interactions of radiation with matter, radiation detectors, health physics, radioactive tracers, nuclear methods of analysis, nucleosynthesis, and sources of radioactive materials.
- Advanced Radiochemistry (CHE 461) Reviews current advances in radiochemistry, hot atom chemistry, radiation chemistry, and nuclear spectrometry.
- Nuclear Chemistry (CHE 462) An advanced level description of nuclear properties, radioactive decay, nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, fission, particle accelerators, and experimental techniques in nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics.
