Joseph Evseevich Starik (March 23, 1902, Saratov — March 27, 1964, Leningrad) was a Soviet radiochemist, a representative of the Russian radiochemical school, a close associate and a friend of Khlopin Vitaly Grigoryevich, for the first time began systematic studies of ionic and colloidal forms of the state of radionuclides in ultra-diluted solutions. Corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1946), three times winner of the The Stalin Prize (1949, 1951, 1953).^[1]^[2]

Biography[edit]

In 1924, he graduated from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow University. He worked at the V. G. Khlopin Radium Institute in Leningrad, taught at Leningrad State University (now Saint Petersburg State University). Participant in the nuclear weapons test at the Semipalatinsk Test Site.

The author of the pioneering fundamental work "Fundamentals of Radiochemistry," which summarized all modern ideas about physics, physico-chemistry of sorption processes, methods for determining the forms of the state of radionuclides in extremely dilute state in solutions, gases and solids, the author of works on radioanalytical methods for determining the age of rocks, chemistry of nuclear reactors, chemistry of plutonium.
