Advanced Radiobiology: Beyond the Absorbed Dose — A Critical Framework for Internal Emitters - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Advanced Radiobiology: Beyond the Absorbed Dose is a critical, postgraduate-level textbook on the health physics of internal radionuclides.

Contemporary radiation protection rests on absorbed dose (gray) and effective dose (sievert). That system works for many external beams. It fails—structurally—when the source is an internal emitter: chemical affinity for DNA, track localisation, sequential decays, and high-Z photoelectric enhancement are averaged away in a “bag of water.”

This volume rebuilds radiobiology around the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR) 2026 model: biphasic low-dose behaviour, the Müller (Mü) as genetic dose (ℳ = N · E), evidence files (workers, fallout, nuclear sites, medical exposures, depleted uranium), multi-stressor precaution, and the legal duty of re-justification under European Basic Safety Standards.

Includes computational protocols, an ICRP-versus-Müller exhibit sheet, and statistical methods for expert use. For health physicists, medical physicists, researchers, and legal professionals who already know conventional radiobiology.

Editor: Marco Saba. GeneForge AI Labs. Independent of the nuclear industry. Draws on Baatout (ed., Springer 2023, CC BY 4.0) and ECRR 2026.
