NRC textbook "Basics of Nuclear Physics and of Radiation Detection Measurement"
//Written by Jukka Lehto (2016) for NucWik and free use.//

Jukka Lehto has written a textbook aimed at introduction new students to Nuclear and Radiochemistry (NRC). This was part of the FP7 project CINCH-II. The book is only available electronically, either in E-PUB or PDF format:
 * E-PUB formatted file (version 1.61 Feb2017).
 * PDF formatted file (version 1.61 Feb2017) ([[file:JLehto_NRC-textbook_05Oct2016.pdf|previous version]]).


 * Content** (individual chapters can be downloaded separately, use the provided links)
 * 1) The History of the Research of Radioactivity (EPUB)
 * 2) The Structure of Atom and NucleusStability of Nuclei (EPUB)
 * 3) Radionuclides (EPUB)
 * 4) Modes of Radioactive Decay (EPUB)
 * 5) Rate of Radioactive Decay (EPUB)

Collection of compendia, exercise introductions, book chapters etc
NucWik contains a lot of texts and compendia about specific topics, e.g. as introduction to specific laboratory exercises. This can be difficult to locate if you are browsing for specific topic. A topic list which link to relevant texts and material has therefore been created, see below. The material in the free and open access NRC textbook written by Jukka Lehto has not yet been linked into the topic list, work is in progress (autumn 2016) to achieve this.
