The desire has arisen for a entire instruction manual for engineers confronted with difficulties of radiation protective layout. even though there are numerous very good books on defensive, they both don't provide adequate attention to the numerous functional layout difficulties, or are constrained to important elements of the topic. spotting the common want, the foreign Atomic strength business enterprise determined to sponsor the booklet ofthe current Engineering Compendium on Radiation safeguard­ ing. on the first editorial discussions it used to be agreed that, if this type of publication have been to be undertaken, it'd be applicable not just to create an invaluable layout device for the practicing engineer but additionally to incorporate well-referenced simple info for the learn employee. even supposing attempting to continue the booklet all the way down to an inexpensive measurement, the editors have aimed toward an entire presentation of the topic, overlaying and linking either the tech­ nology and the technological know-how of protecting. Efforts to make phrases and definitions constant all through were purely in part winning, as a result of the continued improvement of recent principles. even if, inconsisten­ cies which can now not be eradicated are pointed out at any time when possible.
