Outline and Purpose of the Course	Lectures on the use of radionuclides, recycling of spent fuel and disposal of radioactive waste, physicochemical fundamentals related to the reactivity of radioactive materials, and essential analytical methods for material state analysis.
Course Goals	The course objective is to develop an understanding of the physicochemical properties and reactivity of radioactive materials, and to learn the latest research and engineering applications based on these principles.
Schedule and Contents	The main contents of each class session are as follows: 1) Atoms, nuclei, and isotopes 2) Mass, decay and half-life, radiation equilibrium 3) Nuclides, dating, tracer chemistry 4) Dilution analysis, NAA 5) Cross-section, application (analysis, radiation source) 6) Nuclear fuel cycle 7) Cycle engineering: nuclear fuel, smelting, compounds 8) Overview of geological disposal (advance dispersion, chemical equilibrium) 9) Actinide chemistry 10) Chemical analysis and spectroscopy of actinide and fission products 11) Chemical thermodynamics (complexation, solubility) 12) Electrochemistry (redox, electric double layer) 13) Reprocessing (extraction equilibrium, extractant, countercurrent distribution) 14) Waste treatment (ion exchange reaction, membrane equilibrium) 15) Feedback; confirmation of learning achievement
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Grading is based on the score of the periodic evaluations. Students will be evaluated based on their demonstrated understanding of the physicochemical properties and reactivity of radioactive materials and the engineering processes involved.
