About the book

This book is a textbook of Radiochemistry for students at chemical departments of Universities, and chemical-engineering and polytechnic institutes. It presents systematic material on the fundamentals of general radiochemistry, the chemistry of radioactive elements, the chemistry of nuclear transformations, and the use of radioactive isotopes in chemical studies.

The book may be useful for those having higher chemical education, working in the field of radiochemistry, and those who wish to acquire a systematic knowledge of radiochemistry.
