Elements of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences
This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen
Atom, Many-Electron Atoms, Nuclear Properties, Force Between Nucleons,
Radioactive Decay.
The purpose of this book is to emphasize the importance of the existence
of the radioactive gas radon in the environment and to make this natural
phenomenon a top issue because radon is included in class A human
carcinogenesis.
This note provides an
introduction to the basic properties of ionizing radiations and their uses in
medicine, industry, science, and environmental studies. Also discusses natural
and man-made radiation sources, energy deposition and dose calculations, and
various physical, chemical, and biological processes and effects of radiation,
with examples of their uses, and principles of radiation protection.

This book explains the basic
principles of nuclear chemistry at the level of undergraduate college students
who has some familiarity with scientific concepts and terminology.
