Question 1

Optimization techniques can be used to assure that:

Answer 1

a radiation protection practice is as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)

Question 2

Given: V = gross benefit of the introduction of a practice involving ionization radiation P = basic production cost, exclusive of the cost of radiation protection X = cost of achieving a selected level of radiation protection Y = cost of the detriment resulting from the selected level of radiation protection B = net benefit of introducing a practice What is the relationship of the net benefit, B, to the other variables

Answer 2

B = V - (P+X+Y)

Question 3

Given: V = gross benefit of the introduction of a practice involving ionization radiation P = basic production cost, exclusive of the cost of radiation protection X = cost of achieving a selected level of radiation protection Y = cost of the detriment resulting from the selected level of radiation protection B = net benefit of introducing a practice T = time interval in days for tritium bioassay What to variables are assumed to be independent of the sampling period, T,

Answer 3

V and P Gross benefit of the introduction of a practice involving ionizing radiation basic production cost, exclusive of the cost of radiation protection
