Radiochemistry Teaching and Research Laboratory
The RSEC recently created a new radiochemistry research laboratory. This wet chemistry laboratory is equipped with a radioactive materials capable fume hood, a HEPA-filtered inert atmosphere glove box for radiochemical use, and a suite of chemicals and laboratory materials for radiochemical applications. The radiochemistry teaching laboratory was created several years ago with funding from DOE – REAP and NRC curriculum development funds, and provides a space for undergraduate and graduate students to obtain hands on experience with essential radiochemical concepts and techniques for applications in radionuclide detection and separations, environmental studies, nuclear fuel reprocessing, and nuclear forensics.
