Comby English edition, 2001, 345 pp. (soft cover), 38 Euros TNR Editions, 266 avenue Daumesnil, 75012 Paris, France; ISBN 2-914190-02-6 www.ecolo.org Reproduced from the journal Health Physics with permission from the Health Physics Society. AT A TIME when most of the media and politicians seem to be brainwashed by antinuclear cults, it is refreshing to encounter a book that presents the issues regarding nuclear energy in a clear and dispassionate manner. In plain non-technical language, the author, a French environmentalist trained as a nuclear engineer, presents a primer, in large letters, of the essential facts regarding all the major aeas of controversy about nuclear power. The first half of the book, titled "The Atomic Paradox," describes in layman's language the risks of nuclear power, its environmental impact, quality and safety standards, waste management, why a power reactor is not a bomb, energy alternatives, nuclear weapons, and other major global and environmnetal problems. In each case the major conclusions are framed for greater emphasis. Although examples are taken from the French nuclear power program, the conclusions are equally valid elsewhere. Its simple language makes the book suitable as a primer for high-school classes, teacher training courses, or environmental discussion groups.

The profession, as we know it, began during World War II when the tremendous power available from nuclear energy was first being developed for weapons. The radiation hazards encountered during the early years of atomic energy were solved by the cooperation of physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers, and physicians. From this endeavor emerged the interdisciplinary specialty known as "health physics." Today, the use of radiation in medicine, industry, and research benefits all of us. To assure that radiation and radioactive materials are used safely, nuclear facilities and research laboratories demand personnel who understand the many types of radiation hazards and who know how to prevent and control them.

Extractions: if(navVer ') Home Latest News Ask the Experts Experts' Answers ... Affiliates if(navVer ') For decades, ionizing radiation has been beneficial to humans, from treating cancer to generating electrical power. But when used in large quantity or in an unsafe way, ionizing radiation can harm living organisms. Care must be taken with nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons, high-energy particle accelerators, x-ray machines, and radionuclides used in biomedical research and therapy. This special attention helps minimize the potential for unnecessary irradiation of individuals or environmental contamination. Many industries, medical facilities, defense plants, and research laboratories demand professionals who understand radiation hazards and their prevention and control. Prominent among scientists is the health physicist, who controls the beneficial use of ionizing radiation while protecting workers and the public from potential hazards.

The curriculum includes internships at several Washington area institutions. As interns, students gain firsthand experience in a variety of health physics problems under the tutelage of experienced and well-known health physicists. The objective of the health physics program is to provide the fundamental training necessary for students to enter this exciting and competitive field. This option offers research opportunities in such areas as dosimetry, medical radiotherapy treatment planning, power reactor health physics, and biomedical health physics at Georgetown University and other institutions in the area, including NIH and NIST.
Health Physics
My current research explores one chapter of this larger story by examining everyday professional practices of health physics radiation protection.
http://www.tcfn.org/timecapsule/html/health_physics.html

Extractions: Broadly speaking, I am interested in documenting Hanfords role in the history of the American west and the Nuclear Age. The Hanford Site, a Department of Energy (DOE) facility located in southeast Washington State, gave birth to most of Americas plutonium through the Cold War and currently houses the majority of its military nuclear wastes. My current research explores one chapter of this larger story by examining everyday professional practices of health physics [radiation protection]. I examine these practices as they form linkages from a Cold War industrial society committed to mutual deterrence through production of nuclear products to a post-Cold War risk society characterized by increased awareness of uncertainty and environmental legacy (Douglas and Wildavsky, 1982; Adam, 1990; Beck, 1992). As an apprenticing anthropologist, I pursue these interests through ethnography and oral history with retired as well as presently employed health physics professionals. Anthropology has much to say about the Stone Age and the Iron Age. It is my view that anthropology should also contribute to humanitys understanding of our entrance into the Nuclear Age. A brief glimpse into my background is necessary to appreciate my research interests. I attended public schools from 1974-1985 near Hanford. Thus, I grew up with a major piece of world history in my backyard. Yet, I graduated high school knowing precious little about my backyards relationship to the Manhattan Project, Nagasaki, Japan, or Geiger counters.

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/dept/physics/RHP/RHP.html

Extractions: MASTER OF SCIENCE IN RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH PHYSICS The Department of Physics, in the College of Sciences, offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science in Radiological Health Physics. The curriculum combines theoretical, experimental, and applied radiological science courses. After graduation, students are prepared for employment as health or medical physicists, or may continue studies leading to the doctorate. Radiological health physics involves measurement and assessment of radiation exposure and dose to man and his environment. Responsibilities of a radiological physicist may include: development and enforcement of governmental regulations, radiation protection standards, consulting, research, and teaching. Care must be taken with nuclear reactors, high-energy particle accelerators, x-ray machines, and radionuclides used in biomedical research and therapy. Radiological physicists study the interactions of radiation in matter, with special interest in the quantitative determination of the energy absorbed. Also of interest are the analyses of the nature of radiation environments and the effect of radiation and radioactivity on life processes. Applications of this knowledge can range from the design of radiation detection instrumentation, to the establishment of radiation protection standards. Our program at San Diego State University incorporates faculty, laboratory facilities, and course offerings from; the Department of Physics, Department of Biology, Graduate School of Public Health, and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. Also, our program uses personnel, equipment, and facilities at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the Naval Hospital, San Diego, and various other sites within San Diego County.
