Chapter , Problem 58(choose chapter or problem)
(II) Assume a liter of milk typically has an activity of2000 pCi due to 19K. If a person drinks two glasses (0.5 L)per day, estimate the total effective dose (in Sv and in rem)received in a year. As a crude model, assume the milk staysin the stomach 12 hr and is then released. Assume also thatvery roughly 10% of the 1.5 MeV released per decay isabsorbed by the body. Compare your result to the normalallowed dose of 100 mrem per year. Make your estimate for(1a) a 60-kg adult, and (b) a 6-kg baby.
