Radiation Safety Exam
.1 rem according to yr - ANS-General Public dose restriction for effective dose equal
.Five rem in line with gestation length - ANS-Occupational dose limit for embryo/fetus of a
declared being pregnant
one hundred twenty five-I and 131-I - ANS- radioiodines that are great exceptions to internal
infection chance. Highly precise for the thyroid gland.
15 rems consistent with yr - ANS-Occupational Dose Limit for Lens of the eyes
300 millirem - ANS-Average annual powerful dose equal within the US (two hundred millirem
attributed to radon fuel)
5 rems in keeping with yr - ANS-Occupational Dose Limit for effective dose equal
50 rems consistent with 12 months - ANS-Occupational Dose restriction for any organ or
tissue
Absorbed dose - ANS-amount that denotes the energy imparted to count number by ionizing
radiation per unit mass of irradiated fabric on the location of interest. Unit is the rad
Alpha decay - ANS-restricted to isotopes of the heavy elements, a charged particle including
two protons and neutrons is ejected from the nucleus with excessive kinetic energy. Can be
followed via emission of a gamma-ray
Alpha decay, Beta decay, electron capture, isomeric transition - ANS-four most
commonplace types of radioactive decay
Annual Limits of Intake - ANS-ALI. Represents the quantity of a given radionuclide that, if
ingested or inhaled by means of an person will bring about the identical hazard as that
attributed to a radiation worker incurring the maximum accepted annual dose
As low as fairly conceivable - ANS-ALARA acronym
Authorized User - ANS-faculty member authorised by means of the Radiation protection
Committee to apply radioactive substances
becquerel - ANS-unit of radioactivity in SI, =1dps
Beta Decay - ANS-emission of an electron from the nucleus. Electron maybe negatively
charged, ordinary (beta particle), or undoubtedly charged (positron).
, Body Dosimeters - ANS-make use of "optically inspired luminescence (OSL)". Called "Luxel"
dosimeters. Very touchy to ionizing radiation.
Cataract Induction, Cancer Induction - ANS- somatic results
Committed effective dose equal - ANS-pc effective dose because of internal radioactivity
throughout the 50 yr duration following the consumption
Committed organ dose equal - ANS-dose because of internal radioactivity to a selected
organ at some stage in the 50 yr length following the intake
Compton Scattering - ANS-Process wherein the incident photon undergoes a billiard-ball
kind collision with an electron of the interacting fabric. Photon is deflected or scattered by
way of the collision and keeps with reduced energy
Cosmic radiation - ANS-Natural history radiation that effects from the interaction of particles
originating in outer space with the earth's atmosphere
Curie - ANS-conventional unit of radioactivity
daughter - ANS-species after transformation
decay - ANS-one parent/daughter transition, or disintegration
Deep dose - ANS-dose equal computed for a tissue depth of one.Zero cm
Deep Dose equivalent - ANS-dose because of external radiation for a tissue depth of 1cm
Department of Transport - ANS-DOT
developmental or teratogenic - ANS-results located in children who have been exposed for
the duration of the fetal or embryonic tiers of improvement
Distance from the supply and the variety of HVLs of protective interposed among the source
and the vicinity of interest - ANS-radiation dose depends on
Dose equivalent - ANS-quantity that denotes the ability organic impact of the ionizing
radiation. Product of the absorbed dose and sure modifying factors. Unit is the rem.
DOT, OSHA, EPA, NRC, ICRP, NCRP - ANS-Agencies liable for radiation safety and
manage
Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) - ANS-computation approach of handling non-uniform
organ and tissue doses received by adjusting special organ doses in line with their relative
sensitivity to damage by means of radiation
Electron Capture - ANS-converts a proton to a neutron by way of combining a proton with an
orbital electron seize in the nucleus because it passes thru. Orbital electrons rearrange to fill
