Nuclear Power, Man and the Environment

By R J Pentreath

Book Overview

Originally published in 1980. This book describes, in didactic rather than polemic style, the nature of radioactivity, how it arises in the day-to-day running of nuclear reactors, how and why a small fraction is introduced into the environment in a controlled manner, and on what basis judgements on these processes should be made.
