Calculate the radiation dosage (in rads) for an 67-kg person that is exposed for 6.0 seconds to a 3.0 Ci source of beta radiation. Assume that 100% of the radiation is absorbed and each beta particle has an energy of 1.3× 10–13 J.
3.0 Ci x (3.7x10^10 decays per sec / 1 Ci ) = 1.11x10^11
decays/second
The absorbed dose (D) is the energy (E) absorbed per unit mass (m)
of the absorbing material. The absorbed dose can be calculated by
using the following relationship.
D = {E \ m}
The unit of absorbed dose is the gray (Gy) where one gray is one
joule per kilogram (J kg-1).
The solution wouldn't be as simple as saying:
D = 1.3x10^-13 J / 67 kg = 1.94 x 10^-15 J/kg or 1.94 x10^-13
Gy

Calculate the radiation dosage (in rads) for an 79-kg person that is exposed for 5.0 seconds to a 3.0 Ci source of beta radiation. Assume that 100% of the radiation is absorbed and each beta particle has an energy of 2.0 Times 10^-13 J.
Calculate the effective radiation dosage in sieverts for a 73-kg person who is exposed to 6.8 x 10' particles of alpha radiation. Only 75% of the radiation is absorbed. Assume each alpha particle has an energy of 6.9 x 10-13 J and that the RBE of the alpha particles is 15. Note that RBE is sometimes called the quality factor (Q).

Technetium Dosage. Radioactive isotopes are often used for medical imaging. Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) is a particularly popular isotope since it has a short half-life and is easy to make. Also, Tc-99m can be chemically bonded to a number of different compounds and cell types for imaging different parts of the body. Tc-99m has a half-life of 6.02 hours. It decays into Tc-99 by emitting a gamma ray of energy 140 keV. For this problem, assume that Tc-99m is present in the...

One possible way to minimize its hazard is to pass it through a long pipe to allow it to decay inside the pipe until it can be safely released into the atmosphere. If the oxygen moves at a constant speed of 1.1 m/s in the pipe, how long must the pipe be for the...
