(choose chapter or problem)

A 1.2-^Ci 15?Cs source is used for 1.6 hours by a 65-kgworker. Radioactive 15?Cs decays by /3_ decay with a halflifeof 30 yr. The average energy of the emitted betas isabout 190 keV per decay. The (3 decay is quickly followed bya 7 with an energy of 660 keV. Assuming the person absorbsall emitted energy, what effective dose (in rem) is received?
