In nuclear chemistry we study the properties of atom nuclei using chemical methods and chemical processes using the properties of nuclei.

The research within Nuclear Chemistry is based on solution chemistry and the competence to work with radioactive isotopes of the elements. Applications are within solvent extraction for transmutation or studies of super heavy elements, within reactor water chemistry and for chemistry related to nuclear waste repositories.

Nuclear Chemistry is a part of division Energy and Materials which also includes Industrial Materials Recycling, Chemical Environmental Science, Environmental Inorganic Chemistry and Forest Products and Chemical Engineering.
