Nuclear Geochemistry discusses the differentiation of genesis radionuclides including cosmogenic, antropogenic, and initial natural radionuclides. The book focuses on geochemistry of the radionuclides and their use in tracing geological processes such as crust-mantle interaction, exogenic processes, natural and antropogenic radiation environment, the nuclear environment, geochronology, thermal regime of the earth, rock mineral and mineral deposits genesis, and the radiometric prospecting mineral deposits. The book will benefit geochemists, geologists, and ecologists.
