Thank you for sharing this resource! I have found the Health Physics Society to be a valuable source of information on radiation and its effects. The FAQs on radiation safety and basics are particularly helpful for those who work with radiation on a regular basis. The glossary of radiation terms is also a great reference for those who may be new to the field. Additionally, I appreciate the link to the page on shielding of gamma radiation, as this is an important aspect of radiation protection. Overall, the HPS website seems to provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on radiation.
