Radiation
a) During a workday a worker was discovered
to have consumed 1/3 gallon of water
contaminated with 2.5 kBq/liter of I-131.
Estimate the committed effective dose
equivalent (whole body) and organ (thyroid)
dose to a reference person. For the whole
body dose, calculate in two ways using dose
conversion factors and also in relation to the
ALI. Show your work.
b) An investigation revealed that a worker
unknowingly ingested Polonium 210 (form Y).
A 24 hour fecal sample measured three
months after ingestion contained 5.4 µCi Po-
210. Estimate the committed effective dose
equivalent to a reference person.
How much ionising radiation is needed to get epilepsy? Explain how will it cause epilepsy?
Find the approximate radiation dose (in mSv) for 0.1
Gy exposure to thermal neutrons. (Hint: relative
biological effectiveness for various types of radiation
can be found in Table 32.2 in the text.) A range of
answers is acceptable.
