a sustained measured exposure dose of 280 msv/hr was measured 100 m from a source. the evacuation zone was set at 35 km from the source. estimate the exposure rate at 35 km from the source.



Answer :

If a sustained exposure dose of 280msv/hr was measured 100m from a source , then the exposure rate at 35km from the source is 8 msv/hr   .

The Exposure Rate is defined as the amount of ionizing radiation per hour in a person's vicinity , whereas the dose rate is biological effect on  body from exposure to that radiation .

it is given that , exposure rate = 280msv/hr when

distance from source is = 100 m ,

we need to find the exposure rate when the distance is 35 Km from the source ;

we know the formula , that

F = Γ × α/r  , where F = exposure rate , Γ = exposure rate constant ;

r = distance .

substituting the values ,

we get ;

280 = Γ × α/100   ....equation(1)  ;

F = Γ × α/35000    .....equation(2) ;

dividing equation(10 by equation(2) , we get ;

280/F = 35

simplifying further , we get ;

F = 280/35 = 8 msv/hr .

Therefore , the exposure rate is 8 msv/hr  when the source is 35 km from the source .
