Summary:[...]scientists with degrees in closely related fields, such as environmental engineering, nuclear engineering, chemical engineering, nuclear physics, and health physics, have also been considered part of this profession provided that they have taken courses in radiochemistry and performed work with unsealed radioactive material. The webinars have covered a range of topics of interest to radiochemists, including actinide chemistry, environmental radiochemistry and bioassay, the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear forensics, environmental and regulatory radiochemistry, and other topics. [...]the U.S. DOE Nuclear Energy University Partnerships (NEUP) program supports Oregon State University's Undergraduate Radiochemistry Summer School that supports 12 students for 6 weeks. Nonetheless, as was also mentioned in the NAS report, there now appears to be an upward trend in the number of PhD dissertations that have “nuclear chemistry” listed as the subject area, according to the ProQuest Dissertation and Theses database. [...]although the overall number of PhD students who have received rigorous training and graduated in the area of nuclear and radiochemistry has
