Radiation Safety Reviews

"Consisting of 17 chapters, this textbook covers radiation safety applied to a wide range of areas and uses of ionising radiation ... . If you are looking for an up-to-date text that looks at the full sweep of areas to be covered by a radiation safety programme, then this title is for you. Similarly, if you want a modern reference textbook on radiation safety, particularly if you are involved in teaching, then you should consider purchasing this volume." (Peter A. Hiles, RAD Magazine, July, 2017)

"The author intends this as a practical guide to a radiation safety program for a wide variety of professionals. ... The book is most suitable for physicists or engineers who have never set up a radiation safety program. ... the book provides good information on the general structure of a radiation safety program." (Keith D. Brown, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2017)
