Radiological Assessment: Sources and Exposures

Focusing on radiological assessment, this book brings together many different approaches used to evaluate radiation doses to individuals and population groups from sources both external and internal to the human body. It delivers up-to-date coverage on biological effects of ionizing radiation, the dispersal of radioactive materials in the environment, electron penetration and dose evaluation, radiation reflection from structures, neutron shielding and beta particle dosimetry. This volume should be of interest to nuclear engineers, environmental engineers, medical physicists; heaath physicists and industrial hygienists.
