Nuclear chemistry is a subfield of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes and nuclear properties. It may be divided into the following four categories:

• Radiochemistry deals with the use of radioactivity to study ordinary chemical reactions
• The application of techniques from chemistry to study nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion — see also nuclear physics.
• Isotopic chemistry deals with the effect of nuclear mass on chemical reactions and the properties of compounds (see isotope effect).
• Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy uses the net spin of nuclei in a substances upon energy absorption, and is used to identify molecules.
• The chemistry associated with any part of the nuclear fuel cycle, eg advanced reprocessing.
