A radioactive contaminant gives an unfortunate 0.5 kg lab rat a dose of 1500 rem in just 1 minute. Assumin that the half life of the radioactive isotope in the contaminant is much longer than 1 minute, what woul the activity (in Bq) of the contaminant be if the contaminant is a 1.1MEV beta emitter?
