RADIATION CHEMISTRY
RADIATION CHEMISTRY
Radiation chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies chemical transformations in materials exposed to high-energy radiations. It uses radiation as the initiator of chemical reactions. Practical applications of radiation chemistry today extend to many fields, including health care, food and agriculture, manufacturing, and telecommunications.
Examples of applications for FACSIMILE tools in radiation chemistry may include water radiolysis in boiling water reactor’s primary coolant, diffusion-kinetic modelling of the effect of temperature on the radiation chemistry of heavy water, liquid/liquid extraction in nuclear fuel reprocessing cycles, iodine chemistry in reactor safety, modelling radionuclide dispersion in oceans/seas/estuaries, chemical kinetics of radiolabelling reactions, etc.

The applications and processes involved in radiation chemistry are also directly related to general chemical or reaction kinetics modelling. In these cases, additional applications and examples can be found by following links for:
