Using the table provided below, calculate the thickness of lead shielding that would be required to reduce the primary beam to an exposure rate of 1.25 μSv hr⁻¹ at 2 metres from an X-ray machine operated at 150 kVp, 5 mA. Tube Voltage (kVp) | Tube Filtration | Sv/hr at 1 m from Tube for 1 mA | Half Value Layer HVL: mm Pb | Half Value Layer HVL: mm concrete 50 | 2 mm Al | 0.15 | 0.07 | 75 | 2 mm Al | 0.35 | 0.17 | 150 | 2 mm Al | 1.00 | 0.30 | 25.4 250 | 0.5 mm Cu | 1.00 | 0.90 | 27.9 300 | 0.5 mm Cu | 1.50 | 1.50 | 30.5 400 | 0.5 mm Cu | 2.80 | 2.40 | 30.5 (c) Calculate the dose equivalent that would be received to tissue if a person stayed for 1 hour at 1.5 m from an unshielded 370 MBq (10 mCi) source of ¹³⁷Cs. (specific gamma-ray constant for ¹³⁷Cs = 10.3x 10⁻⁸ Rm²hr⁻¹Ci⁻¹))
