Jan-Olov Liljenzin (1936-2019) was a Swedish chemist and professor in nuclear chemistry.
Liljenzin was professor at University of Oslo, Nuclear Chemistry, Norway 1986-1989, and at Chalmers University of Technology, Nuclear Chemistry, Gothenburg, Sweden, between 1989 and 2001.
[1] Liljenzin made early contributions to the understanding of the influence of chemistry on core melt accidents[2][3] and participated in international research about iodine chemistry and how to mitigate radioactive releases from nuclear accidents.
[4] He also investigated various methods of treatment and separation of spent radioactive fuel as well as chemical aspects of final repository for radioactive waste.
[5][6] Liljenzin was a co-author to Radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry[7] which 2013 was issued in its 4:th edition.
