10-Ci point source of 24Na is to be stored at the bottom of a pool
of water. The radionuclide emits two photons per disintegration with
energies 2.75 MeV and 1.37 MeV in decaying by β–emission to stable
24Mg. How deep must the water be if the exposure rate at a point 6
m directly above the source is not to exceed 20 mR/h? What is the
exposure rate at the surface of the water right above the source

A cobalt-60 source with activity 2.60×10-4 Ci is embedded in a tumor that has mas 0.20 kg. The source emits gamma photons with average energy 1.25 MeV. Half the photons are absorbed in the tumor, and half escape. i. What energy is delivered to the tumor per second? [4 marks] ii. What absorbed dose, in rad, is delivered per second? [2 marks] iii. What equivalent dose, in rem, is delivered per second if the RBE for these gamma rays is...
