Tóm tắt

Nuclear new build provides major opportunities for the nuclear supply chain and skilled workforce. The scale of the new build ambitions, coupled with increasing demand throughout the nuclear fuel cycle and high average age of the existing qualified and experienced workforce has heightened concerns of further skills gaps. One of the key 'skills' gaps relates to the field of radiological protection in particular modelling and measuring doses accrued by the public under both normal operational discharges and accident scenarios. This book is an essential introduction to basic principles of radiation protection and aerosol physics. Also discussed are the specific difficulties with the monitoring and the health detriment associated with the more mobile and problematic radionuclides.
