Finding Health Physics Resources

In summary, finding health physics resources involves utilizing various online databases and search engines to access relevant journals, articles, and publications. It is also important to attend conferences and workshops, join professional organizations, and network with experts in the field to gain access to valuable resources and stay updated on the latest developments and research in health physics. Additionally, government agencies and regulatory bodies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency provide useful resources and guidelines for professionals in this field.

My reference on that is a french book:
"Radioprotection et ingenierie nucleaire"

in the "genie atomique" series:

There are several industry standards, but I would say Cember's book is the most widely used. If you can get your hands on a copy, Moe is pretty good as well.

...try out the nuclear science portal at www.nucleonica.net. You have to register but access is free. Nucleonica specialises in health physics.

Health physics courses at the universities I am familiar with use:

(1) Lamarsh, Introduction to Nuclear Engineering (Ch. 9-11)
(2) Turner, Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, 2nd Edition

Please note the date of the OP.

Cember is the book I used for my class in Health Physics.

Glenn Knoll's book on Radiation Detection and Measurement is another book that we used in lab (radiation detection and measurement) in addition to HP class.

Environmental Aspects of Nuclear Power, Geoffrey G. Eichholz, 1977 was a related book used in a course on environmental issues such as waste disposal.

FAQ: Finding Health Physics Resources

What is health physics?

Health physics is the science of protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation. It involves studying the properties and behavior of radiation, as well as developing and implementing safety measures to minimize exposure.

Where can I find health physics resources?

There are several places where you can find health physics resources, such as government agencies, universities, professional organizations, and online databases. Some good examples include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Health Physics Society, and the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC).

What types of health physics resources are available?

There are various types of health physics resources available, including publications, guidelines and regulations, training materials, software and databases, and professional networking opportunities. These resources can provide information on topics such as radiation protection, risk assessment, and emergency response.

How can I determine the credibility of health physics resources?

It is important to evaluate the credibility of health physics resources before using them. Some factors to consider include the source of the information, the qualifications of the authors, and whether the information has been peer-reviewed. Additionally, looking at the date of publication and any potential conflicts of interest can also help determine credibility.

Are there any free health physics resources available?

Yes, there are many free health physics resources available, such as government publications and online databases. Some professional organizations also provide free resources to their members. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all free resources may be as comprehensive or reliable as paid resources, so it is important to evaluate their credibility before use.
