This title provides the latest information on nuclear physics. Based on a course entitled Applications of Nuclear Physics. Written from an experimental point of view this text is broadly divided into two parts, firstly a general introduction to Nuclear Physics and secondly its applications.

Includes chapters on practical examples and problems
Contains hints to solving problems which are included in the appendix
Avoids complex and extensive mathematical treatments
A modern approach to nuclear physics, covering the basic theory, but emphasising the many and important applications
