This book on <IT>Marine Radioactivity</IT> sets out to cover most of the aspects of marine radioactivity which have been the focus of scientific study in recent decades. The authors and their reviews divide into topic areas which have defined the field over its history. They cov…
Ionizing radiation and radioactivity were discovered at the end of the last century. Since then, they have continued to make an impact on varoius fields of research, including not only fundamental studies ranging from the structure of matter at the subatomic level up to cosmic s…
This book features information regarding the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the production of elementary particles, radiation exposure, the geopolitical effects of the end of the nuclear arms race between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, and the future of nuclear power.
Particle Emission From Nuclei
"This book has three volume. The first volume is mainly devoted to the macroscopic-microscopic theory in its traditional form and extended to very high mass and charge asymmetry. Applications of this theory to the emission of different kinds of charged particles from nuclei are …
