Current Trends In Radiation Protection - Henri Métivier

. .

Résumé :
Organizers of the 11th IRPA International Congress have wished to take advantage of this occasion to Launch a new series of books dedicated to review the current important problems of concern in radioprotection. The four editors have combined their efforts to assemble within this book contributions from the worldwide and most famous specialists in their respective fields. Their signatures lead to the insurance of a first class information. All aspects of radioprotection are treated, through synthetic articles accessible to all. Very didactic, this book will be useful to radioprotection professionals willing to take the stake of all aspects within their profession, but also to engineers, physicists, physicians, researchers, and non-specialist people who will find here a thorough synthesis of all aspects of radiological protection.
