Basic radiation protection technology. 3rd edition

OSTI ID:54465
The sum of many small changes in the third edition of Basic Radiation Protection Technology results in a significant improvement over the second edition. While much of the text is virtually the same, there are two new appendices, almost a full chapter on the new 10CFR20, and many revisions throughout the book. The content is divided into three major sections: the basic science topics (radioactivity, interaction, effects, etc.), instrumentation (detectors, dosimetry, environmental monitoring), and protection (principles, surveys, waste, emergencies, regulations). The technical content of the specialized chapters is strongly oriented to the power reactor community, although there are excellent discussions of x-ray generation and applications, of medical nuclides, of accelerators, and of industrial applications in the chapters on sources and protection. The basic nature of much of the content makes it useable for persons working in other specialties.
