Question:

A shielded y-ray source yields a dose rate of 0.052rad/h at a distance of 1.0m for an average-sized person. If workers are allowed a maximum dose of 5.0rem in 1 year, how close to the source may they operate, assuming a 40-h work week? Assume that the intensity of radiation falls of as the square of the distance. (It actually falls of more rapidly than 1/r2 because of absorption in the air, so your answer will give a better-than-permissible value).
