Reduction in Radiation Exposure with Distance from Source
Not what you're looking for?
An alternative to shielding of a radiation source is to extend the distance between the radiation source and the worker. The initial design places the worker 1m, from the source. If the design was revised so the worker was 10m from the source, what percentage reduction in radiation exposure would there be for the second position relative to the first?
