Assume a liter of milk has an activity of 1960 pCi due to4019K, with RBE = 1. If a person drinks 2glasses (0.440 L) per day, estimate the total dose received in ayear. As a crude model, assume the milk stays in the stomach 13.4 hand is then released. Assume also that 15.0 percent of the 1.50 MeVreleased per decay is absorbed by the body, and that this person isa 64.6 kg adult.
? The maximum annual dose to be used forthis calculation is given below. ?
b)
What percentage of the allowed dose does this correspond to if theallowed yearly dose is 5 mSv?
