| Question | Answer |
| What are the 3 cardinal principles of radiation protection? | time, distance, shielding |
| What are the main concerns of Health Physics? | Providing radiation protection for the radiation workers and the public |
| What was the 1st project the radiation physicists worked on? | The A bomb |
| How is exposure measured? | Exposure= Exposure rate X Exposure time |
| Work the problem: If a rad worker is exposed to 230 mR/hr from a radiation source. If the worker remains in that source for 36 min, What will be the total amout of occupational exposure? | Occ exposure= 230mR/hr X 36min/60 min 8280/60 = 138 mR |
