Nuclear Science and Technology: Isotopes and Radiation

This textbook highlights the fundamentals, applications and  research frontiers of the civil-use non-power nuclear technology,  especially the radioisotopes and radiation technology. The wide scope of  applications and the active research in the subject field calls for a  comprehensive textbook that not only explains the basic principles but  also links the fundamentals to the various application fields. The book  systematically leads students from isotope preparation, to nuclear  analysis, and to the civil applications in areas such as chemical  engineering, agriculture, medicine, environmental protection and  materials modification. The application in the energy field is briefly  introduced. The book can be used as good teaching materials for upper  undergraduate and graduate students in nuclear science and technology.  It is also a handy reference book for researchers and engineers in the  above mentioned fields.
