Based on a first-year graduate-level course that the author taught in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, this book differs from traditional nuclear-physics texts for a nuclear-engineering curriculum by emphasizing the understanding of nuclear radiations and their interactions with matter. In generating nuclear radiations and using them for beneficial purposes, scientists and engineers must understand the properties of the radiations and how they interact with their surroundings. Hence, radiation interaction is the essence of this book.
