Proton Therapy Physics goes beyond current books on proton therapy to provide an in-depth overview of the physics aspects of this radiation therapy modality, eliminating the need to dig through information scattered in the medical physics literature. After tracing the history of proton therapy, the book summarizes the atomic and nuclear physics background necessary for understanding proton i…

On 21 October 1994, three brothers entered the radioactive waste repository at Tammiku, Estonia, without authorization and removed a metal container enclosing a radiation source. This action initiated the sequence of events in a radiological accident. The accident resulted in the death of one person and injury to a number of others. The death was not originally attributed to radiation exposure…

A radiological accident occurred on 6 April 1993 at the location then know as Tomsk-7 in the Russian Federation. Very soon after the event the Government of the Russian Federation requested assistance from the IAEA to assess the radiological, health and environmental impacts of the accident. The IAEA used its contacts and resources to assemble a mission. The mission arrived at Tomsk-7 on 15 Apr…
