• Industrial Applications: Nuclear chemistry is used in power generation through nuclear reactors. It also has applications in medical imaging, industrial radiography, and the production of radioisotopes. Nuclear chemistry is a specialized branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of nuclear reactions, the properties of radionuclides, and the behavior of radioactive materials. This field delves into the fundamental processes occurring within atomic nuclei, including nuclear decay, fission, and fusion. Nuclear chemistry has crucial applications in various domains, such as energy production through nuclear reactors, medical imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET), and the development of radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment.
