Advanced Radiation Protection Dosimetry (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Dewji, Shaheen; Hertel, Nolan E.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Many radiation protection scientists and engineers use dose coefficients, though few know their origin. This is the first book in over 40 years to address the topic of radiation protection dosimetry in intimate detail. It is an ideal reference for both scientists and practitioners in radiation protection and graduate students.
