"The field of nuclear instrumentation has greatly increased both in basic research and applications, since the appearance of the 2nd edition of this book. With the miniaturization of equipment and increased speed of electronic components, radiation detection systems are now more productively used in many disciplines. In particular, areas of nuclear non-proliferation, homeland security, and nuclear medicine all have benefitted from these technological advances. With the emergence of the internet in the 1990's the dissemination of information is also much readily available. While the number of nuclear engineering programs has remained more or less constant in the United States, over the last 20 years, there are now many new academic programs that have nuclear and science and engineering as part of their undergraduate curriculum"--Provided by publisher.
