Solved: (II) A 1.6-mCi source of emitter, is implanted in
Chapter 31, Problem 46P(choose chapter or problem)
\(\text { (II) }\) A \(1.6-m C i\) source of \({ }_{15}^{32} \mathrm{P}\) (in \(\mathrm{NaHPO}_{4}\)), a \(\beta\) emitter, is implanted in a tumor where it is to administer \(32 \text { Gy }\). The half-life of \(\begin{array}{l}32 \\15\end{array} P\) is 14.3 days, and \(1.0 \mathrm{mCi}\) delivers about \(10 \mathrm{mGy} / \mathrm{min}\). Approximately how long should the source remain implanted?
