A 1.4-kg tumor is being irradiated by a radioactive source. The tumor receives an absorbed dose of 13 Gy in a time of 950 s. Each disintegration of the radioactive source produces a particle that enters the tumor and delivers an energy of 0.42 MeV. What is the activity AN/At (in Bq) of the radioactive source?
