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
