Beschreibung:
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.
Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Fundamental Concepts and Quantities. Chapter 3: Evolution of Radiation Protection Guidance in the United States. Chapter 4: Radiation Detection and Measurement. Chapter 5: Reference Individuals Defined for External and Internal Radiation Dosimetry. Chapter 6: Biokinetic Models. Chapter 7: Dosimetric Models. Chapter 8: Dose Coefficients. Chapter 9: Cancer Risk Coefficients. Chapter 10: Interpretation of Bioassay Results to Assess the Intake of Radionuclides.
