Good Practices in Health Physics: Proceedings of the 31st Midyear Topical Meeting 8-11 February 1998 Mobile, Alabama

The first of the annual gatherings without a specific topic focus attracted 48 papers on opinions of practicing health physicists on good practices, none necessarily endorsed by the Health Physics Society, which sponsors the events. They include contributions on operational radiation safety, medical health physics, radiation monitoring instrumentation, educational programs, personnel monitoring, regulatory issues, and decommissioning and waste management.
