Re:CHP Exam Study Materials



Again, I strongly recommend Gollnick's "Basic Radiation Protection Technology"
and Moe's "Occupational Health Physics Training" for those taking Part I. Also
go through and outline either Cember's "Introduction to Health Physics" or
Turner's "Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection," both of which are
textbooks that provide a comprehensive introduction to health physics at the
senior or early graduate level. Be sure to solve problems at the end of the
chapters as you go. This should allow you to prepare adequately.

Subject:    CHP Exam Study Materials

I am looking to start studying for Part I of the CHP exam.  The study 
materials I currently have are:

        Radiological Health Handbook (1970)
        Basic Health Physics: Problems and Solutions by J.J. Bevelacqua (1999)
        Nuclear Energy by R. L. Murray (1993)

I really like the Bevelacqua book.  However, I feel I am deficient and need 
review of the basic concepts in Chapter 1.  Is there a good book that would 
provide this review?  How about the Introduction to Health Physics book by 
Cemper?  Are these books all that I need for study prep?  Are there any 
good e-mail study groups?  Sample tests?

I would appreciate any comments or recommendations from anyone who has 
taken Part I of the exam.
