Laboratory Design for Handling Radioactive Materials: Research Correlation Conference Report, No. 3

The book ""Laboratory Design For Handling Radioactive Materials: Research Correlation Conference Report, No. 3"" is a comprehensive guide to designing and constructing laboratories that handle radioactive materials. The book is authored by the Building Research Advisory Board and is based on the proceedings of a research correlation conference. The book provides detailed information on the design and construction of laboratories, including the selection of materials, equipment, and facilities required for handling radioactive materials.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of laboratory design. The first chapter provides an overview of the hazards associated with handling radioactive materials and the importance of designing safe and efficient laboratories. The second chapter discusses the selection of materials for laboratory construction, including the use of shielding materials and the design of ventilation systems.The third chapter covers the design of laboratory equipment, including the selection of instruments and the design of laboratory furniture. The fourth chapter discusses the design of laboratory facilities, including the layout of laboratory spaces and the design of storage areas. The fifth chapter provides guidance on the design of laboratory procedures and protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment and the handling of radioactive waste.Overall, this book is an essential resource for anyone involved in the design, construction, or operation of laboratories that handle radioactive materials. It provides practical guidance and recommendations based on the latest research and best practices in laboratory design.Introduction By Sumner T. Pike.
