Question

A person receives an absorbed dose of protons of 20 millirads. The RBE of protons is 5. What is this person's equivalent dose in rem

Answer 1

The person's equivalent dose in rem is 100 millirem.

The given parameters;

• Absorbed dose of proton, = 20 millirards
• The RBE of protons = 5

The person's equivalent dose in rem is calculated as follows;

$dose \ in \ rad \ = \frac{dose \ in\ rem }{RBE}$

dose in rem = dose in rad  x  RBE

does in rem = (20 x 10⁻³ rad)  x  5 RBE

dose in rem = 100 x 10⁻³ rem

dose in rem = 100 millirem

Thus, the person's equivalent dose in rem is 100 millirem.
