RADIOACTIVE CONDITIONING OF DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLIES

Abstract

This dissertation deals with radioactive condi. tioning of domestic water supplies. It is believed that in order that an engineer may be able to condition water radioactively, he must know at least four things* Firstly, he must know what Is radioactivity and nature of radiations, secondly the grave health hazards caused by the presence of excess of radioactivity in drinking water, thirdly the ins-truments, appliances and techniques employed in detection and measurement of radioactivity 3 and lastly methods of removing radioactive contaminants from water by various water treatment processes. An effort has been made to emphasise and discuss all these aspects, specially the last one. The data and results included are not claimed as the Author O s own findings but are a systematic collection and compilation from various sources.
