Course Objective

By conventional methods, radiation and low-energy radioactive decays allow the analysis.of elements or compounds which are difficult to measure. Also, nuclear techniques are widely used in medicine and engineering. Radio analytical methods are aimed to teach both theoretical and practical.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The Students are expected to be able to interpret nuclear reactions with examining the structure of atoms.
2   The Students are expected to be able to comment about the types and measurement of radiation
3   The Students are expected to be able to apply basic analytical methods based on radioactive elements
4   The Students are expected to be able to use nuclear spectroscopy techniques
5   The Students are expected to know the effects of radiation on the environment, be able to manage them
