THe development of nuclear fission chain reactor for the conversion of mass to energy and the transmutation of elements has brought into industrial prominence chemical substances and chemical engineering processes that a few years ago were ago were no more than scientific curiosties.
Concentrating on techniques for the detection and measurement of radioactivity, this book offers a guide to selecting the type of counter, type of source sample, duration for which the counting must be made, and the radiation emitted by the isotope for its efficient detection. It introduces a novel concept to explain not only the decay processes but also the selection of counting procedures for…
