An Introduction to Radiation Protection is an accessible account of the nature of the hazards presented by ionizing radiation and the methods of protection, for those new to the field and for the non-specialist.
This book takes the reader through the general background to the subject, the technical principles underlying the control of radiation hazards, the biological effects of radiation, and radiation detection and measurement. These are followed by a consideration of more specialized topics including radiation protection in medicine and in the nuclear power industry, radioactive waste management and radiological emergencies.
