In 2012, Y-12 requested that UT reinstitute the Chemistry Department radiochemistry class as a special offering. The following class was jointly or­ganized by the departments of Nuclear Engineering and Chemistry, and taught by George Schweitzer (Chemistry) during the 2012 summer session.

In 2023, Dr. Ivis Chapel-Gore took over the course making it a NE hosted course.
