Description
The
Radioactivity in the Environment Series addresses the key aspects of this socially important and complex interdisciplinary
subject. Presented objectively and with the ultimate authority gained from the many contributions by the world's leading experts, the
negative and positive consequences of having a radioactive world around us is documented and given perspective. In a world in which nuclear
science is not only less popular than in the past, but also less extensively taught in universities and colleges, this book series will
fill a significant educational gap.
Radioactivity in the Terrestrial Environment presents an updated and critical
review of designing, siting, constructing and demonstrating the safety and environmental impact of deep repositories for radioactive
wastes. It is structured to provide a broad perspective of this multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary topic providing enough detail for a
non-specialist to understand the fundamental principles involved.
