Nuclear Science, part of the highly popular Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) series, explores the structure, properties and interactions of atomic nuclei. It describes basic nuclear processes and the modern picture of the nucleus and then applies them to the formation of the Universe. It illustrates the known isotopes with a chart of the nuclides in graphic form, traces radioactive decay from alpha to gamma and shows how new elements are found. Many of the applications of nuclear science are described. Available in poster and notebook size. The Teacher’s Guide provides additional useful information and includes a chart transparency. Size: 150 x 107cm.
