Sample Computation

Scattered Radiation

Workload = (No. of Samples / Day) x (No. of Days / Week) x

(No. of Weeks / Month) x (No. of Months / Year)

Calculated Annual Dose = (Max. Survey Meter Reading) x

(Workload) x (Exposure Time) x (1 Hr / 3600 Sec) x (1 mSv /
1000 uSv)

Calculated Annual Dose = ?

Scattered Radiation
Example:
5 samples per day; 5 days a week
max. reading = 0.05 uSv
exposure time = 1/10 sec = 0.1 sec

Workload = (5 Samples / Day) x (5 Days / Week) x (4 Weeks /

Month) x (12 Months / Year) = 1,200 Samples / Year

Calculated Annual Dose = (0.05 uSv) x (1,200 samples/year) x (0.1

sec) x (1 Hr / 3600 Sec) x (1 mSv / 1000 uSv)

Calculated Annual Dose = 1.67x10e-6 mSv/Year

Leakage Radiation

Leakage Radiation = [(Max. Survey Meter Reading) x (Max. Tube

Rating)] / mA Used

Leakage Radiation = ?
Leakage Radiation

Example:
max. reading = 0.05 uSv
max. tube rating = 5 mA
mA used = 7 mA

Leakage Radiation = [(0.05 uSv) x (5 mA)] / 7 mA

Leakage Radiation = 0.04 uSv

* Leakage Radiation measured at a distance of 1 meter from the source shall

not exceed 1 mSv in 1 hour when the source is operated.
