APPLIED NUCLEAR SCIENCE

Applied Nuclear Physics is concerned with nuclear technology employed in many field with strong

contribution to the society life quality. Knowledge is advancing in all fields and it is required that

also in the nuclear field new ideas be proposed for the future generation to have a better

environment and health in a safer world. Beyond the public apprehension concerning the safety of

nuclear power, the increasing number of the nuclear club membership and nuclear accidents,

scientists have the moral obligation to produce reliable information. Several aspects related to

energy, environment and health should be the base for advanced science and technology will be

given in these lectures. Nuclear phenomenology will be introduced with emphasis on interdisciplinary

aspects e.g. just to mention few: archeology, cancer treatment, almost green energy generator

(Rubbiatron), radioisotope production for diagnostics (Nuclear Medicine) including radon

environmental dosimetry, and others such as e.g security by screening of cargo or luggage in

harbors, airports and customs, non destructive inspections techniques against transportation of illicit

materials. Also on the aspects are related to screening of radiation contamination in drinking water,

environmental NORM and TE-NORM, soil moisture measurements for sliding prevention using

cosmic muon-neutron detection; advanced technology for oil exploitation including measurements

related to heavy oil production. Industrial and civil applications also will be mentioned together

elemental analysis of samples related to petroleum prospection, cultural heritage as well as topics on

Advanced Nuclear Technologies in energy production and radiation detection (neutrino-less beta

decay). The future of nuclear nanostructure.
