This is a joint course for D&D build on tasks created by

• CTU: Separation of activation radionuclides in decontamination loop
• JSI: Determination of Sr-90 for radioactive waste characterization
• POLIMI: Superficial decontamination of metallic waste, precipitation and vitrification
• IMT: Characterization (1) and decontamination (2) of corroded Ni-alloy and steel
• MSU: Determination of radionuclides and their speciation in soils

Detailed description will be added:-)

This training aims to introduce the participants to Radioanalytical Chemistry, a field belonging simultaneously to analytical chemistry and applied radiochemistry that is concerned primarily with the use of radionuclides and ionising radiation for analytical purposes. Participation in this course is a logical choice for (but not limited to) graduates of the CINCH Hands-on Training in Nuclear Chemistry who want to deepen their knowledge of applications of radiochemistry.

The course provides an overview of the fundamental principles of separation methods used in radiochemistry (extraction and chromatography) to NRC master and PhD level students and/or to analytical chemists without NRC background who have acquired the fundamental nuclear chemistry knowledge e.g. by having passed the HoT in Nuclear Chemistry (or equivalent in radioanalytical laboratories).

The theoretical part of the course explains the specifics of the separation methods in radiochemistry and reviews the principles of key separation methods – solvent extraction including extraction of chelates and ion associates, extraction and ion exchange chromatography. Precipitation and co-precipitation as well as electrochemical methods are also discussed. The lectures/readings are complemented with remote operated RoboLab exercises aimed at the demonstration of the basic principles of some of the methods.

This training course aims to deliver the basics of alpha, beta and gamma spectroscopy techniques for the determination of radionuclides in environmental samples.

Complex of lectures by Eric Ansoborlo (CEA) on chemistry of radionuclides and their speciation in the environment.

The Interactive Screen Experiment "Dose Calibration in Gamma Field" enables users to have a first-hand experience concerning the calibration of different dosimeters in gamma fields. By means of an interactive interface, the user can choose an irradiation set up and a dosimeter to work with. Under these experimental conditions, specific activities will be proposed to understand the sensitivity of a dosimeter, to experience the energy dependence of the dose response as well as the effect of distance and shielding. Author of the proposed ISE is the Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry Laboratory at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano.     

The course was created by prof. Bruce Hanson and his colleagues from University of Leeds

The Programmable Autodeposition Lab PAuLa deals with the autodeposition of Technetium on different metal strips. For this purpose, the user can operate a robot arm with which he can dip metal pieces of different nobility in the technetium solution.

In this remote experiment, users can examine different samples gamma-spectrometrically with a High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector. The samples are an environmental sample, soil samples from the vicinity of the failed reactors in Chernobyl and Fukushima, a uranium pellet and a sample of Cs-134.

Following on from the introductory e-learning, this section is to be used by teachers to run the "Ionlab" experiment in class.

The online lecture deals with the fundamentals of ionizing radiation starting from the structure of an atom via different types of radiation and their detection through dosimetry and natural radioactivity. Each topic is divided into several videos each about 10-15 min, so that it is free to the users based on their foreknowledge and interests where they steps into the course.

This course introduces users to radiation protection before practical exercise in radiochemical laboratories.

Základní kurz radiační ochrany pro účastníky různých laboratorních praktik na katedře jaderné chemie, FJFI, která probíhají ve sledovaném nebo kontrolovaném pásmu. Kurz je primárně určen pro externí účastníky.

• This is a prerequisite self-paced course that can be taken at any time before starting the full MoodleBites course and explores: Moodle history and development, Moodle history and development, Moodle fundamentals, and comparing Moodle with other Course Management Systems

1. It has a focus on how to use Moodle features in teaching.
2. Throughout the course indicators are provided to the Moodle Course Creator Certificate (MCCC) Skills Sets - so the course is ideal for MTC candidates.
3. The course development team is international and MoodleBites has been written to be accessible for speakers of English as a second or other language.
