Nuclear Chemistry is an excellent section for special topics or
term papers. Examples
of possible subjects are:
1. Linear accelerators.
2. Radon in homes: kits to measure radon gas can be purchased
from Central
Scientific Co., 11222 Melrose Avenue, Franklin Park, IL 60131-1364 (1-800-
262-3626).
3. Any nuclear medical technique. You might contact a
local oncologist.
4. Have students consider the pros and cons of generating
electricity by nuclear
power as opposed to coal-burning plants, or using wood to heat homes.
Consider the bumper sticker Split Wood, Not Atoms. You might contact
your
local power company. Most have a technical public relations office that
can
provide written information or a guest speaker for your class.
