, 156 R/h - Answers-With 30 Ci at one foot, what would your exposure rate be at one foot
from the source
255.5 R - Answers-If you have 73 Ci of Co-60, your exposure rate at two feet from the
source would be __________
4 times - Answers-You have an intensity of 50 mR/h at 100 feet from the source.
moving to 50 feet would increase your exposure rate by a factor of ____________
4 - Answers-There are _________ types of installations used in radiography.
open - Answers-The most common type of installation used in field radiography is
___________
shielding, time, distance - Answers-There basically three methods of protection from
ionizing radiation. What are they?
multiply the survey meters reading by the total exposure time - Answers-To determine
the total dose received, _______
multiply the rate of dose by the total time exposed - Answers-To determine the total
dose received, _______
multiply exposure time by exposure rate - Answers-To determine the total dose
received, _______

be stated as ___________
The intensity is indirectly proportional to the distance squared - Answers-The inverse
square law is written as
1 half-value layer - Answers-Shielding can be expressed by the amount of shielding
provided, so that the amount of shielding that would reduce the original exposure rate to
one-half would be stated as
lead - Answers-The best material to use as shielding would be
