In chemical analysis: Radiochemical methods
During use of the radiochemical methods, spontaneous emissions of particles or electromagnetic radiation from unstable atomic nuclei are monitored. The intensity of the emitted particles or electromagnetic radiation is used for quantitative analysis, and the energy of the emissions is used for qualitative…

In spectroscopy: Neutrino detection
Radiochemical experiments, conducted deep beneath Earth’s surface to shield out cosmic rays, have revealed much new information about the Sun and about the properties of neutrinos (electrically neutral, virtually massless particles) emitted from its active core. In large vats filled with solutions rich in chlorine…
