The eighth edition of this highly-readable book continues to cover the technical principles underlying the control of radiation hazards, radiation detection and measurement and the biological effects of radiation, followed by a consideration of industry-specific radiation protection issues. Further specialised topics include risk assessment, waste management and decommissioning of nuclear and radiation facilities, radiological emergencies, as well as relevant legislation and organizational issues. A highly-readable account of the nature of the hazards presented by ionizing radiations and the methods of protection against such hazards, the book is an ideal introductory text for those new to the field, and for the non-specialist, and a useful ready reference for more experienced radiation protection professionals.
