This is the first text specifically designed to train potential
health physicists to think and respond like professionals. Written
by a former chairman of the American Board of Health Physics
Comprehensive Panel of Examiners with more than 20 years of
professional and academic experience in the field, it offers a
balanced presentation of all the theoretical and practical issues
essential for a full working knowledge of radiation exposure
assessments. As the only book to cover the entire radiation
protection field, it includes detailed coverage of the medical,
university, reactor, fuel cycle, environmental and accelerator
areas, while exploring key topics in radiation basics, external and
internal dosimetry, the biological effects of ionizing radiation,
and much more besides.
Backed by more than 500 worked examples developed within the
context of various scenarios and spanning the full spectrum of
real-world challenges, it quickly instills in readers the
professional acumen and practical skills they need to perform
accurate radiation assessments in virtually any routine or
emergency situation.
The result is a valuable resource for upper-level students and
anyone preparing to take the American Board of Health Physics
Comprehensive Examination, as well as for professionals seeking to
expand their scope and sharpen their skills.
