Cover of James E. Turner: Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection (PDF)
Lehrbuch und Tabellenwerk zugleich: Ausgehend von der Atomstruktur und den physikalischen Mechanismen der Wechselwirkung zwischen ionisierender Strahlung und Materie erklärt Ihnen der Autor alles, was Sie über den Strahlenschutz in der Praxis wissen müssen, insbesondere den Nachweis von Strahlung, die Messung der Strahlungsdosis sowie die Auswertung und Interpretation statistischer Daten. Methoden zum Schutz von Mensch und Umwelt werden ausführlich anhand realitätsnaher Beispiele dargestellt. Diese überarbeitete, stark erweiterte dritte Auflage berücksichtigt unter anderem auch die neuesten ICRP- und NRCP-Empfehlungen. Eine Fülle von durchgerechneten Aufgaben und Übungsaufgaben (zum Teil mit Lösungen) erleichtert Studium und Selbststudium. Mit umfangreichen Diagrammen, Tabellen und viel Datenmaterial!

About the author

JAMES E. TURNER is a retired Corporate Fellow from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and an Adjunct Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee. In addition to extensive research and teaching both in the U. S. and abroad, Dr. Turner has served on the editorial staffs of several professional journals, including Health Physics and Radiation Research, and has been active in a number of scientific organizations. He is a former member of the NCRP, a Past President of the American Academy of Health Physics, and a former Board Member of the Health Physics Society. In 1992 he received the Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award of the Health Physics Society and, in 2000, the William Mc Adams Outstanding Service Award of the American Board of Health Physics. Dr. Turner has published widely in radiation physics and dosimetry and also on the chemical toxicity of metal ions. He is the author of three textbooks.
