Description:
Covers a wide
variety of health physics topics:
1. Emphasizes the
management of such programs as nonionizing radiation safety,
radioactive waste, personnel monitoring, radiation accident victims,
inernal
exposure, and relative radiotoxicity
2. Discusses how to
handle radiation accidents and eduation and training requirements
for radiation protection.
3. Examines
legal aspects, including the legal aspects of record keeping and
preparation
for court appearances
CRC Handbook of
Management of Radiation Protection Programs, 2nd Edition, is unique
in that
it offers practical guidance for managing various aspects of radiation
protection
programs ranging from the daily operation of a health physics office to
the
preparation of radiation experts for court appearances as professional
witnesses.
The book also covers such topics as organization and management of
nonionizing
radiation safety programs (with special emphasis on laser safety
programs) and
management of radioactive waste, personnel monitoring programs,
radiation accident
victims, internal exposure, relative radiotoxicity and radiation therapy
patients.
Other chapters discuss handling radiation accidents and education and
training
requirements for radiation protection. Legal aspects covered in the
book include
the history of radiation court cases, legal implications of record
keeping,
and preparation for court appearances. CRC Handbook of Management
of Radiation
Protection Programs, 2nd Edition will be a valuable reference resource
for medical
and health physicists, industrial hygienists, physicians, nuclear
engineers,
radiation protection regulators, radiation emergency management
agents, radiation
safety committees, and managers of facilities using ionizing and
nonionizing
radiation sources.
