ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	The student is familiar with foundations of physics, with special attention paid to nuclear physics, general chemistry and physical chemistry
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	The lecture covers the following topics related to modern nuclear chemistry: - isotope methods applied in chemistry, biology, medicine and industry - nuclear power - actinides and transactinides chemistry - physical and chemical properties of isotope labeled compounds The lectrure contains also exercises
Full description:	The following topics will be presented: - isotopes in the environment - abundance and generation; naturally occurring and artificial radioactive isotopes; - isotope effects; - isotope exchange; - chemical effects of radiation interaction with matter - radiation chemistry; - actinides - synthesis, physical and chemical properties, comparison with lanthanides; - transactinides - synthesis, physical and chemical properties, comparison with other elements. Single atom chemistry; - isotope separation; - selected aspects of work in a nuclear chemistry laboratory. Nuclear chemistry methods: activation analysis, Mössbauer spectrometry, analysis of selected isotopes; - chemistry of exotic atoms: mionium, positronium; - application of isotopes in industry, medicine and science; - radiometric dating; - nuclear power, nuclear fuel and spent nuclear fuel. Nuclear fuel cycle. Lecture = 30 hrs., exercises = 30 hrs. Individual preparation to the lecture (0.5 hrs. per week) = 7.5 hrs. Preparation to the exam = 20 hrs. Total = approx. 58 hrs.
