Chapter 9, Problem 43P(choose chapter or problem)
(II) A 1.0-mCi source of \({ }_{15}^{32} \mathrm{P}\) (in \(\mathrm {NaHPO_4}\)), a \(\beta\) emitter, is implanted in a tumor where it is to administer 36 Gy. The half-life of \({ }_{15}^{32} \mathrm{P}\) is days, and 1 mCi delivers about 10 mGy/min. Approximately how long should the source remain implanted?
