Now a retired fellow from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Turner teaches nuclear engineering at the U. of Tennessee. His text/reference covers the major concepts underlying the origins and transport of ionizing radiation in matter. The third edition incorporates important developments affecting the profession of radiological health protection that have taken place since publication of the 1995 second edition. These developments include the issuance of new documents by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, new criteria and data from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, and new reports published by the National Research Council's Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation. The text has also been updated to incorporate recent advances in instrumentation for the detection, monitoring, and measurement of ionizing radiation.
