evaluation question 41:

Distance source - surface box = 40 cm / 2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Equivalent dose rate at 1 m from 4 GBq = 4000 MBq 137Cs
–› 0.093 μSv·m2·MBq-1·h-1 × 4000 MBq = 370 μSv per hour = 0.37 mSv per hour
Equivalent dose rate at surface box without shielding
–› 0.37 mSv per hour × (1 m / 0.2 m)2 = 9 mSv per hour
Equivalent dose rate on surface box with shielding
–› 0.1 × 9 mSv per hour = 0.9 mSv per hour

evaluation question 42:

Activity = 100 GBq = 100×103 MBq
Time = 10 s = 0.0028 h
Equivalent dose at 1 meter
–› 0.12 μSv·m2·MBq-1·h-1 × 100×103 MBq × 0.0028 h = 34 μSv
Equivalent dose rate at 50 cm = 0.5 m
–› 34 μSv × (1 m / 0.5 m)2 = 140 μSv = 0.14 mSv
Annual limit for exposed A-worker = 20 mSv
Maximal time
–› 0.0028 h × (20 mSv / 0.14 mSv) = 0.4 h = 24 min
