Question
Problem 42.58 Assume a liter of milk typically has an activity of 2000 pCi due to 40 If a person drinks two glasses (0.5L) per day, 19 estimate the total effective dose (in Sv and in rem) received in a year. As a crude ml assume the milk stays in the ode stomach 12 hr is then released. Assume also that very roughly 1 of the 1.5 MeV released per decay is absorbed by the body Part A Make your estimate for a 50kg adult. Express your answer using one significant figure reset shortcuts help Sv/year total effective dose Submit My Answers Give U Part B Express your answer using one significant figure IDGO reset shortcuts help rem/year total effective dose Submit My Answers Give U Part C Compare your result to the normal allowed dose of 100 mrem per year Express your answer using one significant figureExplanation / Answer
Because each decay gives one gamma ray, the rate at which energy is emitted is
P = (2000 x 10
