Grundzüge der Strahlenschutztechnik: für Bauingenieure, Verfahrenstechniker, Gesundheitsingenieure, Physiker

Radiation shielding has been for many years - too many years - the province of physicists and mathematicians. This is not to say that these have been the only ones confronted with shielding problems. Nuclear engineers encounter them daily. But physicists needed to shield first their accelerators and later their reactors, and they, with mathematicians, have developed the methods. And for too long engineers have relied on advice from these original shielders in their own design problems. The ...
