RADIATION Protection and Dosimetry: An Introduction to Health Physics
Medical Physics, 2008Co-Authors: Dean BrogaAbstract:This book provides an overview of all relevant topics in the field of radiation protection (Health Physics). Radiation Protection and Dosimetry serves as an essential handbook for practicing Health Physics professionals, and is also ideal as a teaching text for courses at the university level. The text is organized to introduce the reader to basic principles of radiation emission and propagation, to review current knowledge and historical aspects of the biological effects of radiation, and to cover important operational topics such as radiation shielding and dosimetry. In addition to presenting the most up to date treatment of the topics and references to the literature, most chapters contain numerical problems with their solutions for use in teaching or self assessment. A chapter devoted to Environmental Health Physics was written in collaboration with leading professionals in this area.

Health Physics Considerations for the ITER
2014Co-Authors: Joseph John BevelacquaAbstract:Health Physics aspects associated with operation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) are investigated. ITER has Health Physics elements in common with existing facilities as well as unique features. Fusion facility neutron radiation is similar to that encountered in a low energy accelerator. The tritium hazard has radiation protection issues in common with the Canadian Deuterium reactor. Completion of the final ITER design, its performance characteristics, component lifetimes, and maintenance requirements will determine the actual Health Physics hazards.

Health Physics aspects of generation iv reactors
International Nuclear Safety Journal, 2014Co-Authors: Joseph John BevelacquaAbstract:The Health Physics challenges encountered by power operations in existing Generation II and III reactors are also present in the planned Generation IV systems. Generation IV reactors will present additional Health Physics challenges because the core coolants include lead, sodium, and molten salt in addition to light water. These materials create new activation products and these coolant media present unique operational challenges associated with refueling operations, primary coolant component maintenance, and reactor cleanup systems. The extent of these challenges depends on the performance of Generation IV fission product barriers. This is particularly important for molten salt reactors that contain fuel in a eutectic mixture with the coolant.

radiation protection and medical practice with special reference to Health physicists and the Health Physics society
Health Physics, 1995Co-Authors: J N Stannard, Ronald L. KathrenAbstract:This paper broadly examines the historical development of radiation protection in medical practice through an examination of the interactions of those concerned with radiation protection and medical practice with emphasis on the last half century and on the role played by Health physicists and the Health Physics Society. Included is a brief discussion of the relevant activities of various federal agencies and other organizations including the Atomic Energy Commission and successors and the U.S. Public Health Service; the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements and International Commission on Radiological Protection; and the Health Physics Society, American Board of Health Physics, American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Society of Nuclear Medicine, and Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors and related scientific and professional bodies.

Operational Health Physics.
Health physics, 2020Co-Authors: Kenneth L MillerAbstract:A review of the operational Health Physics papers published in Health Physics and Operational Radiation Safety over the past fifteen years indicated seventeen general categories or areas into which the topics could be readily separated. These areas include academic research programs, use of computers in operational Health Physics, decontamination and decommissioning, dosimetry, emergency response, environmental Health Physics, industrial operations, medical Health Physics, new procedure development, non-ionizing radiation, radiation measurements, radioactive waste disposal, radon measurement and control, risk communication, shielding evaluation and specification, staffing levels for Health Physics programs, and unwanted or orphan sources. That is not to say that there are no operational papers dealing with specific areas of Health Physics, such as power reactor Health Physics, accelerator Health Physics, or governmental Health Physics. On the contrary, there have been a number of excellent operational papers from individuals in these specialty areas and they are included in the broader topics listed above. A listing and review of all the operational papers that have been published is beyond the scope of this discussion. However, a sampling of the excellent operational papers that have appeared in Health Physics and Operational Radiation Safety is presented to give the reader the flavor of the wide variety of concerns to the operational Health physicist and the current areas of interest where procedures are being refined and solutions to problems are being developed.

Health Physics considerations in medical radiation emergencies
Health Physics, 2004Co-Authors: Kenneth L Miller, Mike ErdmanAbstract:Preplanning and organization can facilitate the Health Physics response in the event of a medical radiation emergency. Anticipating the needs will allow for advanced assembly of needed information and supplies that would be useful in effectively responding to such events. Annual training of emergency care providers and an easy to read and understand poster will be of great benefit in guiding personnel until Health Physics arrives. Major events also need consideration, in advance, as they will place additional demands on Health Physics.
