an Introduction to Radiation Protection

Authors: Podgorsak, Ervin B.
Summarizes the basic knowledge of modern physics in general and radiation physics in particular required for safe and efficient work in areas where ionizing radiation is used for diagnosis or therapy of disease
Is recommended as an excellent textbook in book reviews
Serves as the missing link between undergraduate classical as well as modern physics and the intricacies of the medical physics sub-specialties
Same chapter and section layout as the "Compendium to Radiation Physics for Medical Physicists: 300 solved problems" (Springer 2014) and is cross-linked with this book in equation numbers, figure numbers, as well as table numbers

This book provides an overview on nuclear physics and energy production from nuclear fission. It serves as a readable and reliable source of information for anyone who wants to have a well-balanced opinion about exploitation of nuclear fission in power plants.
