This book is based on a one-semester course on Nuclear and Particle Physics that we have taught to undergraduate juniors and seniors at the University of Rochester. Naturally, the previous experience and background of our students determined to a large extent the level at which we presented the material. This ranged from a very qualitative and hand-waving exposition to one class that consisted …
This publication presents the outcomes of an IAEA coordinated research project on assessing the national economic effects of nuclear programmes in participating Member States. It provides a short description of the extended input–output model for sustainable power generation (EMPOWER), developed by the IAEA, and presents concise summaries of its applications. It further includes the results p…
This report deals w ith the m edical m anagem ent of individual patients or small groups o f patients under close m edical supervision. Additional and quite different considerations arise in applying radiological protection principles in the public health field or in the consideration of prophylactic responses to w idespread environm ental contamination. These further aspects are not considered…
Modern Physics is the most up-to-date, accessible presentation of modern physics available. The book is intended to be used in a one-semester course covering modern physics for students who have already had basic physics and calculus courses. The balance of the book leans more toward ideas than toward experimental methods and practical applications because the beginning student is better served…
Energy resource is an essential prerequisite for realizing the strategic objectives of the national economic development in China. By the end of this century the objectives of the national economic development are as fellows: the national annual gross value of industrial and agricultural output will be quadrupled as that in 1980; the annual average revenue per capita is expected to be 800-1000 …
College Physics, Fourth presents a unique forces first approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles. That intuitive approach, combined with a consistent problem solving strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior media support make Giambattista, Richardson, and Richardson a product that addresses the needs of TODA…
The International Atomic Energy Agency published in 1958 a Manual entitled ''Safe Handling of Radioisotopes'' (Safety Series No. 1 - STI/PUB/1), based on the work of an international panel convened by the Agency. As recommended by that panel and approved by the Agency's Board of Governors, this Addendum has now been prepared, primarily as a supplement to the Manual. It contains technical inform…
Health physics or radiological health, as it frequently called, is the area of environmental health engineering that deals with the protection of the individual and population groups against the harmful effects of ionizing of nonionizing radiation. The health physicist is responsible for safety aspects in the design of processes, equipment, and facilities utilizing radiation sources, so that ra…
Accurate radiation dosimetry is a requirement of radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. It is necessary so as to satisfy the needs of patient safety, therapeutic and diagnostic optimisation, and retrospective epidemiological studies of the biological effects resulting from low absorbed doses of ionising radiation. The radiation absorbed dose received by the patient is …
Adopting a proactive approach and focusing on emerging radiation-generating technologies, Health Physics in the 21st Century meets the growing need for a presentation of the relevant radiological characteristics and hazards. As such, this monograph discusses those technologies that will affect the health physics and radiation protection profession over the decades to come. After an introductor…
