| The six-week program covers the fundamentals of nuclear theory, radiochemistry, nuclear instrumentation, radiological safety, and applications to related fields. |
| Otto Hahn was a pioneer in the fields of radiochemistry and discovered nuclear fission, while Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch were founders of microbiology. |
| The particulate sample provides readings of overall alpha and beta radiation and also is used to determine the radiochemistry of the particulates. |
| Libby studied radiochemistry at Berkeley in the 1930s and subsequently worked on the Manhattan Project. |
