IAEA safety glossary : terminology used in nuclear safety and radiation protection

This work defines and explains scientific and technical terms used in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety standards and in other safety related publications, and provides information on their usage. The book is aimed primarily at drafters of national legislation, reviewers, and users of IAEA safety standards, including IAEA technical officers and consultants and bodies for the endorsement of safety standards. The glossary can also be a source of information for drafters and users of other safety and security-related IAEA publications and for other IAEA staff, including writers, editors, translators, and interpreters. This 2007 edition has been revised and updated to take into account safety standards issued since 2000. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
