    Summary note
    • Abstract: A comprehensive technical handbook emphasizes various aspects of radiation safety from the regulatory of management standpoint, gleaned largely from past experiences covering early mistakes, radiation litigation, or in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident. The 9 text chapters, prepared by experts in their respective fields, cover; experiences in radiation litigation; public relations in health physics; appropriate methods for disseminating information concerning radiation and nuclear power to the public; radioactive waste management; operational aspects and strategies of a radiation safety office; methods for radiation emergency planning and radiation damage control; predetermined conditions and actions for planing emergency response decisions; and methods of radioactive materials transport.
    • Extensive information on federal and state regulations concerning the shipping of radioactive materials is provided in 23 appendices, which comprise 45% of the text. The text material is directed toward: industrial, academic, medical, and governmental institutions and public health officials; scientists, engineers, and applied health physicists concerned with radiation safety programs; and toward physicians involved in caring for patients exposed to radioactive materials.
