RT LESSON 13

QUIZ
Kindly select A for TRUE & B for FALSE 1 to 10
1. The standard dose rate of a radioisotope is expressed in roentgens per hour per curie at one
foot.
2. A person will receive 0.16 REMS if he stands in 40 mR/Hr area for a period of 4 hours.
3. The thickness of a material that will stop nine-tenths of the radiation is called the tenth value
layer.
4. The three basic means of providing radiation protection refer to time, distance and
shielding.
5. If the radiation intensity at 10 feet was 200 R/Hr, it would be reduce to 100 R/Hr if the
distance were increased to 20 feet.
6. The Inverse Square Law can be used to determine the radiation intensity at a given distance
if you know the intensity at a different distance.
7. One half-value layer of a material will effectively reduce the radiation to one-half the original
intensity.
8. Two half-value layer of la material will effectively stop all radiation form passing through the
material.
9. The half-value layer of lead would be thicker than a tenth-value layer with reference to
shielding from the same isotope.
10. Dense materials such as lead are measured in tenth-value layers, while less dense materials
such as concrete can only use half-value isotope.
Kindly select best possible answer for 11 to 13
11. If a radiographic inspection is to be performed in an open area using a 100 curie Ir-192
sources, what would be the radiation intensity at 30 feet from the source ?
(Ir-192-5.9 R/Hr/Curie at 1 ft)
(A) 65 R/Hr
(B) 0.65 mR/Hr
(C) 650 R/Hr
(D) 0.65 R/Hr
12. If your survey meter showed an intensity of 90 mR/Hr at 30 feet, how far would you have to
move back to be in a area with less than 10 mR/Hr ?
(A) 90 mm
(B) 90 ft
(C) 60 ft
(D) 300 ft
13. If an Ir-192 source had an intensity of 850 mR/Hr through a concrete wall, how much lead
would need to be added to reduce the intensity to below 15 mR/Hr ? [for Ir-192 HVL in lead
= 0.19]
(A) 1.14
(B) 1.14 mm
(C) 1.4
(D) 1.5 mm
