A radiation worker is subject to a dose of 200 mrad/h of maximum QF neutrons for one 40 h work week. How many times the yearly allowable effective dose did she receive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 times.

Explanation:

The rate of the radiation dose is , R = 200 ×10^{-3} rad/hr

Time consumed, t = 40 hr

The magnitude of Q.F for the neutrons, Q.F = 2

Thus the effective radiation dose is:

[tex]R_{Eff} = Rt(Q.F) \\= 200 \times 10^{-3} \frac{rad}{hr} (40hr)(2) \\= 16 \ rad[/tex]

Thus, the effective dose allowable yearly = 16 times
