Fit for Technical Radiation Protection

Test questions with increasing difficulty follow a brief theoretical digest at the start of each chapter. The problems contain gapped texts, crossword puzzles, math problems, figures, tables and other didactic items.

• The following subjects are covered:
• Math fundamentals: calculating with percentages, magnitudes, log graphics
• Physical fundamentals: radioactive substances, kinds of radiation, terms of dosage
• Biological radiation effects, human exposure to radiation
• Practical radiation protection using distance, shielding and time of exposure
• Calculation of exposition of radiation for gamma-, beta-, neutron- and X-rays
• Radiation protection metrology: function and design of measuring devices, statistical measurement uncertainty
• Radiation protection administration: basic legal terms, calculations.

The book contains the solution of all problems with references to additional resources for download from the Internet. This way the reader can gauge whether the teaching objective has been reached. A small formulary rounds out the content.
