Example 5 Nuclear Incident A nuclear incident has exposed a 70kg worker to 1 Ci of 2 MeV photons for 1 minute. Ass...
A 65.0-kg worker at a nuclear plant is exposed for 5.00 minutes to 1.00 mCi of beta radiation from 90Sr, each with energy of 0.546 MeV. (a) How many beta radiations does he receive? (b) If 75.0% of the radiation energy is absorbed, what is the total radiation energy (in Joule) absorbed by the worker? What is the radiation dose in gray (Gy) and rad (radiation absorbed dose)? (c) Assuming that the beta radiation has RBE of 0.95, express the...
