Blood cell LEAST sensitive to radiation? Erythrocytes
Blood cell MOST sensitive to radiation? Lymphocytes
Granulocytes & Platelets are NOT sensitive to radiation (T/F)? False
Stochastic Effects ↑ Dose = ↑ __ ? ↑ Dose = ↑ Risk (Stochastic)
Deterministic Effects ↑ Dose = ↑ __? ↑ Dose = ↑ Severity (Deterministic)
__ Effects show Linearity NONthreshold Probability increase with NO change in Severity? Stochastic
__ Effects involve Higher Doses with Threshold responses? Deterministic
Callused, discolored, brittle, cracked, flake skin caused by LONG Term Exposure to HIGH Doses of Radiation? Radiodermititis

Absolute Risk of Radiation-Induced Leukemia? 1.5 cases/10⁶ (persons/rad/yr)
Absolute Risk of ALL Cancers? 10 cases/10⁶
Risk Estimate formula? Relative Risk = Observed Cases/Expected Cases
Excess Risk = __ -__ Excess Risk = Observed Cases - Expected Cases
__ is dose that will double the occurrence of Genetic Mutations? Doubling Dose
Human Doubling Dose? 50-250 rad
R → c/kg R / 3880 = c/kg
c/kg → R c/kg x 3880 = R
rad → rem rad x QF = rem
Gy → Sv Gy x QF = Sv
rad → Gy rad x .01 = Gy
Gy → rad Gy x 100 = rad
rem → Sv rem x .01 = Sv
Roentgen = __? R=rad (Rx1=rad)
Sv → rem Sv x 100 = rem
mrad → Sv mrad→rad→Gy x QF = Sv
Units of measure for Exposure in Air? C/kg & R
Units of measure for Absorbed Dose? Gy & rad
Units of measure for Dose Equivalent? Sv (Gy x QF) & rem (rad x QF)
SI Absorbed Dose __ = 1 __ Gy = 1 joule/kg
Traditional Absorbed Dose __ = __ rad = 100 ergs/g
1 rad = __ Gy = __ mGy 1 rad = .01 Gy = 10 mGy
1 Gy = __ rad 1 Gy = 100 rad
Thermal Neutron QF 5
Fast Neutrons & Alpha Particles QF 20
Annual dose limit for Radiation worker? 50 mSv (5 rem)
Cumulative Life dose limit for Radiation worker? 10 mSv x age (1 rem x age)
Equivalent Annual dose for Lens of the EYE? 150 mSv (15 rem)

Monthly dose limit for Fetus of Rad worker? .5 mSv (50 mrem)
9 Month/Term dose limit for Fetus of Rad worker? 5 mSv (500 mrem)
rems x __ = mSv rems x 10 = mSv
Effective Dose = ? Radiation Weighting Factor x Tissue Weighting Factor x Absorbed Dose
EfD = __ x __ x __ EfD = Wr x Wt x Dose
1 TVL = __ HVL 3.3 HVL
rem → mSv Rem x 10 = mSv
