My first nuclear chemistry textbook. The edition I read had a ridiculous amount of errors, and I’m not talking about grammatical errors. Otherwise a good text that has been surpassed by Lieser/Kratz excellent two volume «Nuclear- and Radiochemistry» as my book(s) of choice.

The grammar is not the best, I found several misspelling error, possibly because of the translation. It is also not very easy to follow. In some instances it leaves a topic unsolved, and in others it goes too much in depth without getting to the actual point. I think you can find a better beginners nuclear chemistry book.
