This book discusses the handling of radiation accidents. Written by a person with long experience in the field. The topic of discussion is divided into 7 chapters such as basic radiological science, exposure and contamination, radiation injury and detection, recognizing radioactive material, treatment (MM).
Every day humans will be faced with radiation, both artificial radiation and natural radiation. the use of nuclear reactors, the use of mobile phones, nuclear weapons and so on, there is always a potential risk that is harmful to the environment and humans. Therefore, it is necessary to take mitigation measures related to nuclear radiation accidents. This book is about that. The discussion topi…

This book discusses radiation sensors with 3D electrodes. Sensor technology that is currently developing can be used for various fields of science such as physics, medical physics, space science and others, including the nuclear field. This book is divided into 9 chapters covering the interaction of radiation with silicon, semiconductor physics, and its application in everyday life (MM).
This book deals specifically with the interaction of radiation with matter. Specifically divided into four chapters. The subject covers basic knowledge of radiation, atoms, radioactivity, x-rays, interactions of electrons and photons, and is also accompanied by questions and problems. This textbook can be read by students of engineering physics, nuclear medicine, and nuclear engineering and eve…
ISO 2919:2012 establishes a classification system for sealed radioactive sources that is based on test performance and specifies general requirements, performance tests, production tests, marking and certification. It provides a set of tests by which manufacturers of sealed radioactive sources can evaluate the safety of their products in use and users of such sources can select types which are …
The Summary Report provides a synopsis of the Study for the benefit of a wider audience, and includes its findings, conclusions and recommendation in full. It explains the background to the Study, giving data on the French nuclear weapon tests, and summarizes the Study's assessment of the environmental legacy of weapon testing at the two atolls. The Study's estimates of consequent radiation dos…
Zircon has economic importance as a raw material in its own right and also as a feedstock for the manufacture of zirconia (zirconium dioxide), zirconium chemicals and zirconium metal. The geological processes that formed zircon led to the incorporation of radionuclides of natural origin into the crystal structure. The presence of these radionuclides is not significant enough to be of any commer…
This report provides a set of suggested methods and practices for determining the source term and analysing the radiological consequences of research reactor accidents. It provides safety analysts, regulators, and reactor facility management and operations staff, with the calculation methods and techniques necessary for deriving the source term. This includes all factors relevant to the formati…
There is a widespread variation in the practices with regard to the release of patients from hospital after unsealed radionuclide therapies. This publication aims to harmonize the different approaches, drawing on new advice issued by the International Commission on Radiological Protection and on a number of regional and national approaches. Particular attention is paid to the most frequent ques…
