The book Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial Process Measurements written by Geir Anton Johansen and Peter Jackson, translated by Hamid Jafari, Associate Professor at Shahid Beheshti University, and Ehsan Ebrahimi Basabi, Assistant Professor at Shahid Shahrood Industrial University, has been published.
This book, with 476 pages, was first published in 2024 in the ministerial format by Shahid Beheshti University Press and is priced at 2,860,000 Iranian Rials.
Introducing and familiarizing readers with the industrial applications of radioisotopes lays the foundation for greater interest in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and ionizing radiation.
The authors of Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial Process Measurements present a wide range of issues, from fundamental physics to the industrial applications of radiometric probes, across eight chapters. They address various topics with a combined academic and industrial approach, although it is essential to refer to the books and articles cited in the text for further details. This unique book presents the principles of measurement and the applications of radioisotopes in industry in a very readable manner. Compared to other works in this field, it includes up-to-date content from nuclear engineering, petroleum and chemical processing, radiochemical research, environmental monitoring, and chemical engineering.
Key features of the book include a brief introduction to atomic and nuclear physics, a wide range of nuclear measurement methods and their applications to various and significant issues, an overview of electronics, measurement accuracy, safety, and standards, processes and requirements, strategies for designing and implementing measurement systems, and numerous practical engineering examples. These make the book one of the primary academic resources for nuclear engineers, electrical and electronics engineers, physicists, and professionals in these fields within industries.
Students and interested individuals can purchase the book at the sales office of the Shahid Beheshti University Scientific Publications Center, located in the Information Technology (IT) building on the ground floor, or place an online order through the center's website. Additionally, the electronic version of the book is available for purchase on the Fidibo and Taqcheh websites.
