This thesis about the use of scintillation detectors for radiation monitoring. Japan is one country that has many nuclear power plants. To ensure around nuclear power plants, it is necessary to build a radiation monitoring station. Radiation monitoring is carried out by measuring the air dose rate and radionuclide content. In the nuclear emergency disaster scenario, radiation monitoring is one …
The primary aim of the handbook series will be to include as much useful data as possible for the specialist needing ready access for the solution of problems most likely to arise in the radiation protection professions. However, some selected review of fundamental concepts is also included to enable persons with a basic science or engineering background to acquire the necessary knowledge to so…
Radiasi hadir dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Ada yang alami dan ada yang buatan. Keduanya ada manfaatnya. Namun, radiasi buatan kendati bermanfaat harus berhati-hati ketika menggunakannya. Oleh karena itu, perlu ada pengetahuan khusus yang membahas tentang radiasi. Berkaitan hal tersebut, buku yang ditulis oleh John ini menarik untuk dibaca karena secra khusus membahas tentang dunia radiasi dan k…
This book explains clearly and in detail all aspects of radiation protection in nuclear medicine. After an introductory chapter on the general role of radiation protection, measurement quantities and units are discussed, and detectors and dosimeters, described. Radiation biology and radiation dosimetry are then addressed, with the inclusion of a chapter specifically devoted to biology and dosim…

Proceedings contains material Review; Radiation preservation of onions under tropical conditions; Combined treatments and irradiation to reduce microbial contamination in dried cuttle fish; Irradiation of hot peppers to improve their hygienic quality; Preservation of dried fish powders and mixed condiments by gamma irradiation; Commercial storage and marketing trials of irradiated onions and ga…
Since the discovery of X-rays and radioactivity, ionizing radiations have been widely applied in medicine both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The risks associated with radiation exposure and handling led to the parallel development of the field of radiation protection. Pioneering experiments done by Sanche and co-workers in 2000 showed that low-energy secondary electrons, which are a…
