Nuclear Reactions: Synthesis and Applications

This lecture covers artificial nuclear reactions, including the principle of nuclear synthesis, transuranic elements, fission, and fusion. It explores applications such as neutron analysis, radio-sterilization, food preservation, and medical uses like radiotherapy and radiography. The lecture also delves into the effects of radiation on health, from cell mortality to cancer risks, and discusses the measurement of radioactivity and its impact on the environment and human body.
