Answer: Food Irradiation. Food is often irradiated with
Chapter 43, Problem 43.35(choose chapter or problem)
Food Irradiation. Food is often irradiated with either x rays or electron beams to help prevent spoilage. A low dose of 575 kilorads (krad) helps to reduce and kill inactive parasites, a medium dose of 100400 krad kills microorganisms and pathogens such as salmonella, and a high dose of 23005700 krad sterilizes food so that it can be stored without refrigeration. (a) A dose of 175 krad kills spoilage microorganisms in fish. If x rays are used, what would be the dose in Gy, Sv, and rem, and how much energy would a 220-g portion of fish absorb? (See Table 43.3.) (b) Repeat part (a) if electrons of RBE 1.50 are used instead of x rays
