In this course you will learn the following themes.
(1) radiation and radioactivity, (2) equipment using radiation, (3) influence of radiation on the human body, (4) basic of safe handling, (5) usage of RI in biochemistry, (6) prevention of radiation damage.
Learning from this course will make it possible to objectively judge the usefulness and danger of radiation.
The final assessment also includes the results of the final exam and the results of the report. The distribution ratio will be 65 points from test results and 35 points from report points.

(1) This course requires basic knowledge of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, due this is lecture on radiation.
(2) Basic knowledge of biochemistry is also necessary for lectures on RI usage in biochemistry.
(3) Please use the designated textbook for preparation and review. Although some pages are not touched during classes, the entire scope of the textbook will be tested.
(1) We also distribute printed materials every time. The lecture is based on textbooks and those materials.
(2) Education and training videos compiled by the Japan Radioisotope Association are also used.
