Reference no: EM13664600

A particular radioactive source produces 150 mrad of 2 MeV gamma rays per hour at a distance of 1.0 m.

1. How long could a person stand at this distance before accumulating an intolerable dose of 1 rem?

2. Assuming the gamma radiation is emitted uniformly in all directions, at what distance would a person receive a dose of10 m rad/h from this source?
