Radiological Risk Assessment and Environmental Analysis Summary

Radiological Risk Assessment and Environmental Analysis by John E. Till (President, President, Radiological Assessments Corporation)

Radiological Risk Assessment and Environmental Analysis comprehensively explains methods used for estimating risk to people exposed to radioactive materials released to the environment by nuclear facilities or in an emergency such as a nuclear terrorist event. This is the first book that merges the diverse disciplines necessary for estimating where radioactive materials go in the environment and the risk they present to people. It is not only essential to managers and scientists, but is also a teaching text. The chapters are arranged to guide the reader through the risk assessment process, beginning with the source term (where the radioactive material comes from) and ending with the conversion to risk. In addition to presenting mathematical models used in risk assessment, data is included so the reader can perform the calculations. Each chapter also provides example and working problems. The book will be a critical component of the rebirth of nuclear energy now taking place, as well as an essential resource to prepare for and respond to a nuclear emergency.

Radiological Risk Assessment and Environmental Analysis Reviews

...the revised edition of the 1983 book is a welcome addition to the published literature. It is based on many years of experience by acknowledged experts in their fields and will serve as an excellent textbook for students of this discipline and as a reference book for practitioners.... universally valid and applicable. * Health Physics Society *
