Annotation -
The course is devoted to radioanalytical methods and their application in the trace determination of radioactive and stable elements. Basic nuclear reactions, properties of ionizing radiation, the methods of detection and measurement of ionizing and nonionizing radiation will be described. The lectures then continue with analytical applications and methods. The subject also includes an excursion to the Řež campus - ÚJV and CVŘ.

Teaching methods -

Teaching takes place using the flipped class method with an emphasis on activating elements during the lesson. Comprehension of the topics discussed is verified by continuous tests. Emphasis is placed on both soft and hard skills.

Requirements to the exam -

The course ends with a written exam.

1. The written exam lasts 30 minutes.

2. The student registers for the exam through the Study Information System (SIS) and it is the student's responsibility to register by the deadline specified here. Deregistration from the exam is possible until the date specified in the SIS, later only with the examiner, and only for serious reasons. In case of non-participation and non-registration, the term is forfeited and is classified as "F".

3. If you arrive late for the written exam, the examiner may allow you to write the paper, but the missed time will not be compensated.

4. During the exam, it is not allowed to leave the room and use unauthorized aids, including telecommunication devices.

5. The place and time of publication of the results of the written exam will be announced during the written exam. The examiner will determine when and where the written work will be available for inspection. If the student does not appear on this date, he gives up the opportunity to view the assessment.

6. The student has the right to a maximum of two correction dates.
