72: In terms of the number N of cesium atoms that decay in one week and the mass
m  1.0 kg, the equivalent dose is
N
3.5 Sv  ((RBE)γ E γ  (RBE)e E e )
m
N
 ((1)(0.66 MeV)  (1.5)(0.51 MeV))
m
N
 (2.283  1013 J), so
m
(1.0 kg)(3.5 Sv)
N  1.535  1013.
(2.283  1013 J)
The number N 0 of atoms present is related to N by N 0  Ne λt , so
0.693
λ   7.30  10 10 sec 1 
