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…
There are several hundred thousand nuclear gauges incorporating a radioactive source or a radiation generator in use all over the world. They have been used in a wide range of industries to improve the quality of products, optimize processes, and save energy and materials. The economic benefits have been amply demonstrated, and there is clear evidence that nuclear gauge technology can be used s…
The International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (the ‘Standards’ or ‘BSS’) were published as IAEA Safety Series No. 115 in 1996 [1]. This publication was the culmination of efforts over past decades towards harmonization of radiation protection and safety standards internationally, and was jointly sponsored by th…
Gamma and electron irradiation facilities have to be constructed so that during normal use any radiation exposure of workers will be very low and there is no significant exposure to individual members of the public. However, significant radiation exposure may result from loss of control over or damage to the radiation source. In extreme cases the exposures may be sufficient to cause serious inj…
Bringing together material scattered across many disciplines, Semiconductor Radiation Detectors provides readers with a consolidated source of information on the properties of a wide range of semiconductors; their growth, characterization and the fabrication of radiation sensors with emphasis on the X- and gamma-ray regimes. It explores the promise and limitations of both the traditional and ne…
Recent advances in the field of nuclear medicine (NM) are expanding the role and responsibilities of the nuclear medicine technologist (NMT) to include more complex and detailed tasks. New technologies are making the diagnosis, management, and treatment of illnesses more sensitive, more specific, more accurate, and ultimately safer for both the patient and the technologist. Radiation Safety …
