Radiation Experience
 

Anyone have any radiation experience here?

Kinda in a bind, need some math help.

Ok, I should clarify what I"m looking for, there's a LOT of math involved in this lol.

I'm working with intensity's vs distances, and time.

Problem I'm stuck on right now is this:

75ci Intensity I need to find
XXSOURCEXX-------------------------------------------------
Iridium 192 100' Distance from source.

Then I need to find the time to recieve a 30 MR Dose at 300'.


Hope that makes the question easier for you guys.

The answer is always C

Are you in a med class?

WAHOO!

LOL

I found the formulas on the net, but I still can't do it.....I get time tomorow before my certification test to review and get help, I'll take care of it then.

No, I'm an inspector at a refinery, I need this for x-rayin' welds and piping.

Oh, very good.

After careful calculation, I think the answer is 3. :idea:

Noooooooooooooooo.....................

It's 42.

Sorry Nate, can't help you unless you need advice on how to operate in a radiation contaminated environment...

Sorry my background is in the non ionizing. ie RF

That's ok, I think I figured it out.....really f'd up way to do it, but, I think I figured it out.

Ummmm, not sure how to ask, but shoudl I plan on relocating???

Nate and radiation just don't give me the warm fuzzies, y'know??

Nah....Unless I'm working within a few hundred feet of your house or something LOL

It's all good though, I half ass'd my way throught the math, 6 questions and got 4 of them right on the test, so I passed.

That's all that matters to me, now I get my raise ;)

And that's all that matters

Exactly.


Well these equations are all algebra, and I can't do algebra to save my life. Especially something like the "Inverse Square Rule"
