Nuclear chemistry is a subfield of chemistry dealing with
radioactivity, nuclear processes and nuclear properties. It is the
chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and
radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as
nuclear reactors) which are designed to perform nuclear processes. This
includes the corrosion of surfaces and the behaviour under conditions
of both normal and abnormal operation (such as during an accident). An
important area is the behaviour of objects and materials after being
placed into a waste store or otherwise disposed of.
