Nuclides.net describes an integrated environment for computations on radionuclides and their radiation. In addition to providing the necessary background on radionuclides and radiation, the accompanying CD-ROM, for Microsoft Windows operating systems, offers extensive information on the physics and radiology of familiar nuclides. Through an electronic nuclide chart, the user can access codes, via the Internet, for a number of applications which allow the required data to be computed quickly and reliably by means of interactive user guidance. Nuclides.net can be used for teaching, research, and for practical applications.

The illicit trafficking of nuclear material has been an issue of concern since the first seizures in the early 1990s, and has gained increased attention in the context of the recent discussions on the possibilities of nuclear terrorism. The aim of this conference was to promote the further development of nuclear forensic methods and international co-operation among laboratories. Another aim was to facilitate access to such capabilities by national law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting nuclear crimes, to enhance co-operation, and to bring nuclear forensic methodology to a broader audience. These proceedings include the keynote addresses, invited papers, panel discussions, session summaries and an executive summary.

This book is aimed at scientists and engineers wanting to use radioisotopes and the emitted ionising radiations competently but without seeking expertise. It describes decay and stability criteria, necessary precautions to ensure radiation protection and the detection of alpha, beta and gamma rays including spectrometry. There are comments on calorimetry, liquid scintillation counting, how to use secondary standard instruments, high resolution detectors and how to calculate counting results estimating uncertainties and allowing for the statistics of radionuclide decays. The book's principal purpose is to encourage radionuclide applications which can be done safely, reliably and accurately. It describes industrial and scientific applications of alpha, beta, and gamma rays, neutrons and high energy radiations. This book will be of particular interest to scientists and technologists, teachers and students, helping them to work with radioisotopes safely, efficiently and reliably.
