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).

months after ingestion contained 5.4 µCi Po-
210. Estimate the committed effective dose
equivalent to a reference person.
