Tasks

Founded in 1956, the Division of Nuclear Chemistry sees its main task in promoting nuclear, radio and radiation chemistry and the students, technicians and scientists working in these fields. The main focus is on providing information about new results and applications.

• Conferences and lecture meetings
• Working groups for scientific or technical work in special fields
• Participation in GDCh events
• Publications and monographs in the field of nuclear, radio- and radiation chemistry
• Courses on the safe handling of radioactive substances and radiation protection
• Active interaction with domestic and foreign committees, associations and organisations in related fields

An essential aspect is the promotion and safeguarding of sufficient research, teaching and training capacity in nuclear, radio- and radiation chemistry. Contact list for teaching and training in nuclear chemistry- as of 12 November 2020 (pdf)

Focal points of work

The Division of Nuclear Chemistry in the German Chemical Society represents the scientists and engineers who handle radioactive substances and ionising radiation in their work and use them for the purposes of research, industry, medicine and teaching. Their activities can be summarised in the following key areas:

Health and environment
- Nuclear chemistry in the life sciences (radiopharmacy)
- Isotope geochemistry
- Radiation protection and radioecology
- Nuclear forensics

Energy
- Repository Research
- Reactor Chemistry
- Tritium Chemistry

Teaching, training and maintenance of expertise

The Board consists of the Chairman, his deputy and up to five assessors, whereby the universities, industry and research centres should be represented. The Board of the Division is supported in an advisory capacity by an Advisory Board, which also includes student members.more

JuRadChem - the youth organisation of the FG Nuclear Chemistry - is a national network for students and young graduates with up to three years of professional experience who are interested in radio-, nuclear- or actinide chemistry. more
