The seventh edition continues to cover the technical principles underlying the control of radiation hazards, radiation detection and measurement and the biological effects of radiation, followed by a consideration of industry-specific radiation protection issues. Further specialised topics include risk assessment, waste management and decommissioning, radiological emergencies, relevant legislation and organizational issues and, new to this edition, environmental radiation protection.   aRadiation units  aRadioactivity and radiation  aStructure of matter  aPhysics  aBeach, Karen  aCole, Peter  aHarbison, Sam
