It is not possible to repair radiation damage & recover. - Answer-False

T/F
As the intensity of x-ray exposure of an air volume increases, the number of electron-ion
pairs produced decreases. - Answer-False

devices? - Answer-Survey instruments detect the presence or absence of radiation in
an area.

Define effective dose limiting system. - Answer-A set of numeric dose limits that are
based on calculations of the various risks of cancer & genetic to tissues or organs
exposure to radiation

Exposure is measured in an OSL by? - Answer-Passing a laser light over the aluminum
oxide detectors & then measuring the light emitted, which would be proportional to the
amount of exposure

Define Tolerance dose - Answer-A dose to which occupationally exposed persons could
be continuously subjected w/o any apparent harmful acute effects

Interactions between higher energy photons & outer shell electrons of tissue atoms
result in? - Answer-Compton

Radiation survey instruments measure which of the following:
1. Total quantity of electrical charge resulting from ionization of the gas
2. Rate at which electrical charge is produced
3. Luminescence - Answer-1 and 2 only
