Example: With Using The Collimator Which Has Thickness Equivalent To 4.3 Half Value Layers

The document discusses safe distances (d) for radiation sources using the formula d=√A×K/I, where A is the activity of the radiation source, K is a gamma factor, and I is the maximum permissible dose. It provides calculations to determine the safe distances for controlled and public areas both with and without a collimator attached to the radiation source. The collimator reduces the dose rate reaching 1m from the source based on its thickness in half value layers.

Example:

d= √ A × K / I

d=safe distance
A=Activity
K=Gamma Factor
I =Max . permissible Dose

AΧ K = Dose rate of the radiation source @ 1m


A × K =Dose rate of theradiation source @1 m without collimator
=13 . 6 (Ci ) × 480 mRem/Ci @ 1m=6528 mRem

6528 mRem
d (for controlled area without collimator)=
√ /0 . 3= 147.5 m

6528 mRem
d (for public area without collimator)=
√ /0 . 1 = 255m

 with using the collimator which has thickness equivalent to 4.3 half value
layers

A×K
S0 Dose rate of theradiation source @ 1m with collimator=
2 4 .3

13. 6 × 480
=326 . 4 mRem
24 .3

⇒
❑ d ( for controlled area withcolimator )= √326.4 /0.3 =33m

⇒
❑ d ( for public area with colimator ) =√ 326.4 /0.1 =57m
