Radiation Safety Practice Questions

The document contains 5 sample radiation safety questions. The first question calculates the additional distance needed to reduce radiation from 560 μ Sv/Hr to 2 mR/Hr. The second calculates the dose received from 3 hours exposure to 200 mR/Hr. The third calculates the time allowed for 6 mR/Hr exposure to limit the dose to 2 mR. The fourth calculates the concrete thickness required to reduce exposure from 32 mR/Hr to 2 mR/Hr given the HVL for Ir-192. The fifth asks for the half-life of Ir-192.

Radiation Safety Sample Questions

1. Radiation level of 560 µ Sv/Hr is measured at a distance of 16 feet from an Ir-192 source. How
much additional distance has to be moved to get only 2 mR/Hr.

560 µ Sv = 56mR I1d1 = I2d2

D2 = 56x16x16 = 7168

Total distance at which radiation will be 2 mR = d2= √ 7168 = 85ft. approx.

So additional distance to be moved = 85-16 = 69ft.

2. How much dose a person would receive if he stands for 3 hours in an area where radiation
exposure rate is 200 mR/Hr.

200 mR/Hr. x 3 Hr. = 600 Mr

Answer – 600Mr

3. How long a person can work in an area of radiation exposure rate 6 mR/Hr. So that he
would receive only 2 Mr dose.

Answer: 60x2 = 20Minutes.

4. If HVL for Ir-192 for concrete is 1.6 inches. How much thick concrete is required to reduce the
exposure from 32 Mr/Hr. to 2 mr/Hr.

Answer: 6.4”

5. Half life of Ir-192
