Suppose that placing 0.3 inch of lead in front of a gamma source reduces the count rate from 996 cps to 613 cps. What is μ ^-1 m in g / cm2 ? The density of lead is 11.4 g / cm3 .

A gamma point-source is made of 1 mCi Co-60. A detector, with an active surface area of 2 cm2, is placed at a distance of 2 meters from the source. The detector exhibits a dead time of 1 ms and is best described with a non-paralyzable model. The measured count rate is 100 cps. What is the intrinsic efficiency of the detector? Hint: Use the simplified fractional solid angle equation.

1. What will be the radiation intensity (at 1 m) from a 4181 GBq C0-60 source 29 years after purchasing it? SEC of 1 GBq of Co-60 = .36mSv/hr @1m. 2. The radiation intensity at 10 m from Ir-192 is 5 mSv/h. What was the source activity 195 days ago? SEC of 1 GBq of IR-192= .15 mSv/hr@1meter. Half life IR-192= 74 days HINT: 1ȗᄉ Inverse square law, 2ⁱᄃ using the intensity you solved for, solve for Activity. 3ȓᄃ...What was the activity 195days prior 3. What will be the radiation intensity from 2590 GBq C0-60 source (SEC above) be at a distance of 5 meters? How many TVL-s is needed to reduce its intensity to 0.025 mSv/h? Hint: 1ȗᄉ Solve for intensity at 5 meters away. 2ⁱᄃ at this point there is a shield (TVLs) reducing intensity to 0.025, so solve for n. 4. At a distance of 10 meters we have a radiation intensity of 0.1 mSv/h after passing through 48 mm of a shielding material (TVL of 16 mm). If an Ir-192 source is used, what is its activity? Hint: This is like question 3 but now you can solve for n, determine initial intensity and then apply inverse square law. After this you still have to solve for Activity in GBq 5. You figure the Radiation intensity without shielding is 78 mSv/h for a fellow CEDO’s radiographic exposure, and behind a close by shield you figure the intensity is 3mSv/h. If the HVL of shielding material is 4 mm, what thickness is that shield?
