(a)
Comparison of the result to the normal allowed dose and estimation for a 50 kg adult.
(a)
Answer to Problem 48P
For a 50 kg adult, the estimated value of the allowed dose is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Activity,
Milk drank per day,
Energy released per day,
Normal allowed dose per year,
Calculation:
Firstly, we need to convert the activity into dose per year as follows:
For a 50 kg adult, the fraction of allowed dose can be given by:
Conclusion:
For a 50 kg adult, the estimated value of the allowed dose is
(b)
Comparison of the result to the normal allowed dose and estimation for a 5 kg baby.
