The branch of chemistry which deals with nuclear processes, radioactivity and transformations in the nuclei of atoms is called nuclear chemistry. Some of the transformations studied within it are nuclear transmutation and nuclear properties. It is also involved in the study of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon as well as the equipment that is designed to perform nuclear processes. The study of the chemical effects of the absorption of radiation in living animals, plants and other materials also falls under this field. The main areas that are covered under nuclear chemistry are radiation chemistry, nuclear power and nuclear reactions. This textbook provides comprehensive insights into the field of nuclear chemistry. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of this field. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
