Nuclear Physical Methods in Radioecological Investigations of Nuclear Test Sites

It is only with the ending of the Cold War that the issue of environmental hazards at many former nuclear testing sites around the world has attracted international scientific interest. This book discusses the environmental, ecological, and health problems associated with nuclear testing. Topics tre...
