Seminar on nuclear chemistry

On the 18th of June in the Centre of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry a seminar was held on radiochemistry for participants of nuclear energetics postgraduate studies conducted at Wroclaw Politechnic. 22 participants took part in the program.
An Experiment concerning estimating the time of half-life period of radionuclide 137mBa, purifying the solution simulating refrigerent of nuclear plant and marking of radiopharmaceutic DOTATE with radionuclides ⁶⁸Ga i ⁴⁶Sc was carried out.

Seminar for University of Warsaw students

In relation with the cooperation with Biology Department UW within the project of "The analysis of the possibility of gaining uranium for nuclear energetics from domestic sources" (POIG 01.01.02-14-094/09) on the 25th of June seminar titled "Selected problems of nuclear energetics" was conducted for students of this faculty.


The following lectures were delivered by:

Prof. dr hab. Jerzy Ostyk-Narbutt
Nuclear energetics and radioactive waste.

Doc. dr hab. inż. Grażyna Zakrzewska-Trznadel
Disposal of radioactive wastes and burned-out fuel.

31 students took part in the seminar. Their interest in the lectures and many questions they asked the lecturers shows the development of nuclear energetics and meeting the demand for new scientific staff in the future in positive light.

International Energetics Fair - EXPOPOWER 2010

From 18th to 20th of May 2010 in Poznan Inernational Energetics Fair "Expopower 2010" took place for the fourth time.
The fair had excellent setting. ICHTJ debuted in the fair very successfully. Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak visited the fair. He was particularly interested in the newest products and technological innovations presented at the fair.
ICHTJ stand was crowded thanks to perfecly designed decor and visual effects. We presented ICHTJ technologies which are in progress of elaboration and those which are already used such as testing tightness of pipelines and instalations, measurement devices, research on electric wiring of new generation and possibilities of using domestic uranium for nuclear energetics.
