Nuclear chemistry represents a vital field of basic and applied research. This Introduction to Nuclear Chemistry describes the relevant parameters of instable atomic nuclei, the various modi of radioactive transmutations, the corresponding types of radiation including their detection and dosimetry, and finally the mechanisms of nuclear reactions. This new edition has updated lirature references and new material throughout.
