The 30th AUTUMN RADIOCHEMISTRY DAYS were held between October 13 and 16, 2025, in Balatonszárszó, jointly organized by the Scientific Committee on Radiochemistry of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and its working committees, together with the Radioanalytical Section of the Hungarian Chemical Society.
During the three days, 25 scientific presentations were given on various fields of radiochemistry, and four young researchers competed for the Attila Vértes Young Researchers’ Award.
At the conference, Maria Gracheva, Renáta Homlok, Zsolt Kasztovszky, Krisztina Kovács, Károly Lázár, Zsófia Rékasi, Róbert Schiller, Erzsébet Takács, László Wojnárovits, Márton Zagyvai, and Péter Zagyvai represented the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research.
The EK presentations, in order of delivery, were as follows:
• Károly Lázár, Zoltán Máthé: TRAVEL OF IRON IONS FROM DEEP MINERALS AND STONES TO SOIL AS REFLECTED IN THE MÖSSBAUER SPECTRA
• Zsolt Kasztovszky, Noémi Anna Buczkó, Krisztina Dúzs, András Kovács, Erzsébet Takács, Tünde Tóth, Péter Völgyesi, László Wojnárovits, Judith Mihály: ADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF USING NEUTRON AND GAMMA IRRADIATION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND PRESERVATION OF HERITAGE OBJECTS
• Maria Gracheva, Zoltán Kis, Gergana Mihailova, Katya Georgieva, Ádám Solti: NEUTRON IMAGING REVEALS THE REHYDRATION DYNAMICS OF THE RESURRECTION PLANT HABERLEA RHODOPENSIS
• Krisztina Kovács, Anna Tegze, Anikó Bezsenyi, László Wojnárovits: HIGH-ENERGY IONIZING RADIATION-DRIVEN RADICAL REACTIONS AND MATRIX EFFECTS IN TRAMADOL DEGRADATION
• Péter Zagyvai: RADIOCHEMISTRY TASKS IN THE WORK OF OKSER
• Zsófia Rékasi, Tamás Pázmándi, Péter Zagyvai, Márton Zagyvai, Annamária Pántya, Csaba Glavák: EXPERIENCES FROM AN INTERNATIONAL INTERCOMPARISON OF WHOLE-BODY MONITORING OF CHILDREN
As in previous years, the conference provided an excellent opportunity to discuss professional issues in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We would like to thank the organizers and the HUN-REN Centre for Energy Research for supporting our participation!
