The distance needed to decrease the intensity exposure to below
Concept Introduction:
Ionizing Radiation:
The term ionizing radiation states to high energy radiation. Ionizing radiation is not hazardous every time it occurs, but the hazard increases with following exposure and is especially damaging to quickly dividing cells such as cancer, bone marrow, immune system, hair follicles, or gonadal tissue.
Ionizing Radiation: intensity versus distance from the source

Find the approximate radiation dose (in mSv) for 0.1
Gy exposure to thermal neutrons. (Hint: relative
biological effectiveness for various types of radiation
can be found in Table 32.2 in the text.) A range of
answers is acceptable.
Approximately what amount (in Sv) of short-term exposure to radiation produces noticeable effects in humans?
What is the HVL of tissue for 1.25 MeV gamma-rays. How many half-layers of tissue are in the
human forearm (assume an average thickness of 10 cm of tissue). What is the reduction in
intensity as a 1.25 MeV gamma-ray passes through 10 cm of tissue? Assume the density of
tissue is 1 g/cm2.
