Wolfgang Wahl: Applied Nuclear Data, Volume 1 - Radionuclide Handbook, Edition 10, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The book deals with all naturally occurring and primary artificial, i. e. anthropogenic radionuclides and their decay properties as well as decay chains and parent / daughter systems (intensity in equilibrium and / or abso-lutes), but also with their most important production mechanisms as well as the specific interaction mechanisms with a measurement system and its detection specific properties. The following list of specific types of radioisotopes briefly and concisely shows which application-related areas are presented in detail in the handbook. All data have been validated by ISuS and are up to date - September 2025 - from the primary metrological databases. All about 365 radioisotopes are include in "Nuclide Boxes" incl. decay & production and its specific properties.

Anthropogenic
