Title: Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis
Description: "This handbook provides the reader with the principles, practical techniques, and procedures for the accurate measurement of radioactivity from the very low levels encountered in the environment to higher levels measured in radioisotope research, radionuclide standardization, clinical laboratories, nuclear medicine, nuclear power, fuel cycle facilities, and the implementation of nuclear safeguards.

The book describes the preparation of samples from a wide variety of matrices, assists the investigator or technician in the selection and use of the appropriate radiation detector, and presents the latest state-of-the-art computerized and automated methods of analysis. Fundamentals of radioactivity properties, radionuclide decay, and methods of detection provide the basis for a thorough understanding of the analytical procedures.

Therefore, Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis is also suitable as a teaching text for university and professional training courses."--BOOK JACKET.
