Handling Radioactivity: A Practical Approach for Scientists and Engineers

Consolidates and summarizes information regarding all aspects of the safe handling of radioactivity with particular emphasis on handling at the lab level, in a glove box, or on a small hot cell scale. Examines safety standards and their derivation; shielding; monitoring; radiation dosimetry; decontamination; remotelyoperable equipment; radiation damage effects; nuclear criticality; safe transport of active materials; disposal of radioactive wastes, and more.
