Nuclear safety Flashcards
Roentgen
Exposure in air- when we check things
F Factor fat
100=kev photons 0.91
F Factor muscle
100=kev photons 0.96
F Factor bone
100=kev photons 1.5
Rad
Roentgen x F factor = Absorbed dose 1RAD=100erg/gr
SI unit for radiation absorbed dose
100 Rad= 1 Gray
Quality Factor for X and Gamma rays and Beta particles
determined by linear energy transfer = 1.0
Quality factor for Neutrons and protons
determined by linear energy transfer = 10.
REM or Roentgen equivalent Man
REM= RAD x QF
Home many REM in 1 Rad of Gamma Rays
Rad (1) x QF of gamma Ray (1)=1 REM
Quality factor of Alpha particles
20
1 Rad of alpha particlies = REM?
20 REM =Rad (1) x QF of alpha particle (20)=20 REM
SI for REM
1 Sievert = 100 REM
Roentgen
Exposure in air
RAD
radiation ABSORBED dose Rx F
REM
Roentgen equivalent man (RAD x QF)
SI unit of GrAy
100 RAD ABSORBED DOSE
SI unit of Sievert
100 REM dose equivalent
Effective dose equivalent
measure of theroretical risk units in REM or Sievert
