RADIONUCLIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY SERIES NO. 9 3 Twenty-eight papers from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, chaired by E. C. Freiling. Pollution . . . a growing concern . . . a concept not generally associated with radionuclides. The successful control of this hazardous waste product of nuclear energy is essential to the continued use and development of nuclear power. Critical to this problem is an understanding of the processes by which radionuclides are produced, dispersed, and retained in the environment. The papers in this volume discuss and evaluate the properties and problems relating to radionuclides, including • mechanisms of release, absorption, uptake, transport • behavior, measurement and characterization, specific weapons tests • specific activity, public health aspects, fallout • new methods and equipment 522 pages with index Clothbound (1968) $15.00 Set of L.C. cards with library orders upon request.
