Updated and much expanded, the new edition of this authoritative text provides the principles, practical techniques and procedures for accurately measuring radioactivity, from the low levels encountered in the environment to higher levels measured, for example, in radioisotope research, nuclear medicine and nuclear power. The book describes the basic principles of radiation detection and measurement and the preparation of samples; assists in the selection and use of appropriate radiation detectors; and presents state-of-the-art methods of analysis. Fundamentals of radiation properties, radionuclide decay and methods of detection provide the foundation of the analytical procedures. It is also suitable as a teaching text for university and training courses.
