Radiation Protection and Dosimetry: An Introduction to Health Physics

This text is meant to serve as the basis for a two-course series in the study of radiation protection (a. k. a. “health physics”). The first course would be an introduction to and fast-paced overview of the subject. For some, this is the only course in radiation protection that they will take, and thus all material must be covered in a fairly super?cial and rapid fashion. The second course is a more in-depth and applied study of radiation protection, bringing in current materials from the l...
