Description

Radiation units are discussed with regard to exposure, absorbed dose, relationship between absorbed dose and exposure, RBE dose, and dose equivalent. Natural background radiation is discussed with emphasis on cosmic radiation and external gamma radiation. Radiation monitoring is discussed with regard to the use of ionization chambers, thermoluminescent dosimeters, and gamma spectrometers. (U.S.)
