IR-192 Radiation Safe Distance Chart

The document provides a table detailing the safe barrier distances for Ir-192 sources of varying strengths, measured in Curie, with and without a collimator. It specifies that the dose rate at the barrier should not exceed 7.5 µSv/hr according to MOE guidelines. Additionally, it includes a formula for calculating barrier distance based on source strength and a transmission factor for the tungsten collimator.
