Abstract

An institute for the training of radiochemist was proposed in 1989 by scientists/educators from Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the TRIUMF Nuclear Research Facility in Canada. The intensive program spans 6 weeks and includes seminars and problem sesssions as well as practical laboratory experience. Topics include health physics, synthesis of short lived radiopharmaceuticals, automation and quality control. The first offering was in May–June 1990. Based on this experience a textbook on Radiochemistry and Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry has been initiated. Parts of the program may be implemented into a credit course to be offered through the Department of Chemistry at SFU.
