Abstract

This chapter includes most of the analytical radiation attenuation methods. It is far from exhaustive but representative enough for an engineering volume. It includes methods which apply to either gamma rays or neutrons enough so that to place them in one or another of chapters four or five would cause duplication or omission.

Keywords
