This book describes the regulatory context for radiological protection as well as the conceptual and mathematical tools used to address issues that arise in complying with applicable legislation, regulations and guidance. The aim is to provide a single volume that is accessible to readers with a general scientific background, but that includes sufficient technical detail to make it useful to postgraduate students and radiation protection professionals in the early years of their career.

Key Features:

Designed for day-to-day use in identifying methodologies and techniques appropriate to addressing issues in radiological protection as they arise. Written by authors with extensive experience of the topics covered by their chapters.
