This handbook is intended for engineers and designers of tools and scientific equipment intended for operation in environments where radiation is present, for example in uranium mines or in outer space, or at the site of nuclear weapons testing, radiation therapy, or industrial sterilization processes involving radioactive energy sources. The Handbook of Radiation Effects lucidly covers radiation physics and its impact on solid-state physics structures and electronics, with explanations that are accessible to readers without advanced scientific training. The book should serve as a valuable reference tool and introduction to the plentiful, if often baffling, treatises on radiation effects for engineers and students interested in practical applications.
