Introduction to Nuclear Science

Assuming no prior background in this field, Introduction to Nuclear Scienceprovides a complete introduction to nuclear chemistry and physics, spanning fundamental concepts, relevant mathematics, current applications, and health issues. The book covers energetics, nuclear stability, radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, interactions of radiation with matter, detection methods, and safety measures, including monitoring and regulations. The text also explores applications in medicine, power generation, food safety, waste, and weapons. This book provides a much-needed textbook and resource for undergraduate students in science and engineering as well as those studying nuclear medicine and radiation therapy.Bryan, Jeff C. is the author of 'Introduction to Nuclear Science ', published 2008 under ISBN 9781420061642 and ISBN 142006164X.
