Exam 2 RAD201 SS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Examples of measurable late biologic damage | Cataracts Leukemia Genetic mutations |
| Carcinogenesis | Is the formation of cancer |
| Threshold | a point at which a response or reaction to an increasing stimulation first occurs |
| Nonthreshold | indicates that a radiation absorbed dose of any magnitude has the capability of producing a biologic effect. |
| Stochastic effects: | The probability that the effect happens depends upon the received dose, but the severity of the effect does not. |
| Examples of stochastic effects | Cancer or genetic mutation |
| Tissue reactions | Both the probability and the severity of the effect depend upon the dose. |
| Examples of tissue reactions | Skin Burns or Cataracts |
| Which of the following agencies was previously known as the Atomic Energy Commission? | NRC |
| Epidemiologic studies of atomic bomb survivors exposed in utero have provided conclusive evidence of a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of severe intellectual disability for fetal doses higher than approximately | .4 Sv |
| The effective dose (EfD) occupational limit for the lens of the eye is | 15 mSv |
| The primary function of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to | oversee the nuclear energy industry. |
| Genetic mutations at the molecular level are called | Point mutations |
| Radium decays with a half-life of | 1622 years |
| Laboratory experiments with mice conclude that cataracts may be caused by doses of ionizing radiation as low as | .01 Gy -t |
