The book which impressed me in high school (not a textbook)
was "The Atomic nucleus" by M. Korsunsky. It is available
from Dover Publications (I think).

A textbook "Nuclear Radiation Physics" by R.E. Lapp and
H.L. Andrew would likely be appropriate for students you
described. Check with Prentice-Hall if it is available.
