Dawn of radiochemical research in Japan. From Hokutolite to U-237
Description
This talk will present important developments of Japanese radiochemical studies in both natural and artificial radioelements with emphasis on two topics. First, the talk will describe radiochemistry of Hokutolite, a radioactive sinter deposit, in Peitou Hot Springs in Taiwan as well as Tamagawa Hot Springs in Japan after the discovery of Hokutolite in 1907. Secondly, the talk will mention Nishina and Kimura's excellent work on the discovery of a new uranium isotope, U-237, and several new fission products produced by fast neutron bombardments of uranium with RIKEN cyclotron during the period 1938-1942.
