The utilization of nuclear energy makes great demands on the
knowledge of the engineers engaged in design work and calculations
relating to construction in nuclear industry. Apart, of course,
from nuclear reactors themselves, a great deal of nuclear
experience is involved in the design and construction of
radiotherapy centres, non destructive testing laboratories,
particle accelerators, radioisotope laboratories and nuclear
research plants. Whereas in the USA there appears to be no great
difference in the methods of training personnel for fundamental or
for applied science, European universities draw a sharp dividing
line between the two fields. However, if we consider graduates
solely from the point of view of their activities at their place of
employment, two types of personnel can be distinguished:
scientifically oriented research workers and those with a more
technical and practical background who are looking for rational and
rapid methods and solutions, even at some expense in terms of
accuracy. The Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shielding
endeavours to cover both approaches, the scientific and the
technical. Volume I was devoted to the fundamental aspects of
shielding, while Volumes II and III discuss its technology."
