This book is well written in a very readable style. It is logical in its approach and covers a wide variety of topics within the nuclear sciences. It should appeal to the serious scholar of radiochemistry at both the undergraduate or postgraduate level. It is also worthy of note that the authors have dedicated the book to Nobel Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg.

The new edition of a well-known, respected text in the specialized field of nuclear chemistry includes an interactive website with testing and evaluation modules based on exercises in the book.

Although the text does not cover practical radiometric separations in great detail, it does provide the reader with a strong overview of this important field of science.

this book gives you a good state of art on most of radiochemistry-engineering topic related to the nuclear field. For the prices it sales its a very good deal.

Overall, this book is decent for a graduate level radiochemistry class. It has a lot of problems, although some of the answers seem to be at odds with those that we and our instructor got. I have used this for a reference book in addition to the Freidlander book, but this one is perhaps a bit easier to read and understand. There are lots of tabels and figures reproduced in this book, so this book is quite helpful if you're wanting to calculate the probability of certain processes (e.g. what will happen if my gamma ray of a certain energy interacts with matter).
