A practical guide to the basic physics that radiation protection
professionals need A much-needed working resource for health
physicists and other radiation protection professionals, this
volume presents clear, thorough, up-to-date explanations of the
basic physics necessary to address real-world problems in radiation
protection. Designed for readers with limited as well as basic
science backgrounds, Physics for Radiation Protection emphasizes
applied concepts and carefully illustrates all topics through
examples as well as practice problems. Physics for Radiation
Protection draws substantially on current resource data available
for health physics use, providing decay schemes and emission
energies for approximately 100 of the most common radionuclides
encountered by practitioners. Excerpts of the Chart of the
Nuclides, activation cross sections, fission yields,
fission-product chains, photon attenuation coefficients, and
nuclear masses are also provided. Coverage includes: * The atom as
an energy system * An overview of the major discoveries in
radiation physics * Extensive discussion of radioactivity,
including sources and materials * Nuclear interactions and
processes of radiation dose * Calculational methods for radiation
exposure, dose, and shielding * Nuclear fission and production of
activation and fission products * Specialty topics ranging from
nuclear criticality and applied statistics to X rays * Extensive
and current resource data cross-referenced to standard compendiums
* Extensive appendices and more than 400 figures This complete
discussion of the basic concepts allows readers to advance their
professional skills.
