Plutonium in the environment : edited proceedings of the Second Invited International Symposium November 9-12, 1999, Osaka, Japan /
The first volume of the new series, Radioactivity in the Environment, focuses on the environmental occurrence, the speciation, the behaviour, the fate, the applications and the health consequences of that much-feared and much-publicised element, plutonium. Featuring a collection of selected, peer-re...
