Radioactive materials and nuclear technologies play important roles in energy production, scientific research, medicine, industry, and other fields. Understanding these technologies requires a foundation in nuclear physics, radioactive decay, radiation measurement, energy conversion, reactor systems, and radiation safety.
RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AND NUCLEAR ENGINEERING provides a structured introduction to the principles and engineering concepts associated with radioactive materials and nuclear systems.
The book examines the nature of radioactive decay, types of radiation, nuclear reactions, radiation measurement, detection systems, nuclear energy, and fundamental reactor concepts. It also explores how radioactive materials are handled within regulated environments and why shielding, monitoring, containment, risk assessment, and safety practices are important in nuclear applications.
Key topics include:
-
Fundamentals of nuclear engineering
-
Atomic nuclei and nuclear structure
-
Radioactive decay and half-life
-
Types and characteristics of ionizing radiation
-
Nuclear reactions and energy release
-
Radiation interaction with matter
-
Radiation detection and measurement
-
Radiation monitoring systems
-
Nuclear energy and energy conversion
-
Reactor components and fundamental concepts
-
Nuclear fuel and reactor materials
-
Radiation shielding principles
-
Nuclear safety and risk management
-
Applications of nuclear technology
The book approaches nuclear engineering as an interdisciplinary field involving physics, materials, electrical systems, mechanical systems, instrumentation, energy conversion, and safety engineering. Readers will examine how these areas interact in the design, operation, monitoring, and protection of nuclear systems.
Safety is treated as a fundamental engineering consideration throughout the discussion, with emphasis on radiation protection, monitoring, containment, risk awareness, and the importance of applicable regulations and professional standards.
For nuclear engineering students, physics students, engineers, technicians, researchers, energy professionals, and technical readers seeking a structured foundation in radioactive materials and nuclear engineering, RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AND NUCLEAR ENGINEERING offers a broad examination of radiation principles, nuclear energy, radioactive decay, detection systems, reactor fundamentals, safety, and applications.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
