More Old Terms

REM- Roentgen Equivalent Mammal is equal to the absorbed does in RADS multiplied by a quality factor

Quality Factors

Beta = 1

Gamma & X ray photons = 1

Alpha = 10

Neutrons = 20

New Terms sort of

New Terms sort of

International Units have replaced the RAD and REM

GRAY (Gy) = 100 RAD

SIEVERT (Sv) = 100 REM

Same Quality Factors apply to the Sv

Slide 38

Units of Radioactivity

Units of Radioactivity

Curie (Ci) = 2.22 E12 dpm or 3.7E10 dps

Becquerel (Bq) = 1 dps

Maximum Dose/year = 5 REM or 50 mSv

Maximum Dose/year for Declared Pregnant Woman & Minors= 0.5 REM or 5 mSv

Dose Response Relationships

Dose Response Relationships

0-150 rem—No or minimal symptoms

150-400 rem—Moderate to severe illness

400-800 rem—Severe illness deaths start above 500 rem
