If the dose is calculated as (0.1mrad/hour) X (hour/60 min) X 10 min X 10 (QF), what is the result?

To determine the result of the dose calculated using the formula provided, it's essential to break down the calculation step-by-step.

The dose calculation is initiated with a dose rate of 0.1 mrad/hour. This needs to be converted into a dose for a specific duration.

First, we convert the dose rate from hours to minutes because the duration given is in minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the dose rate per minute can be calculated as follows:

• [0.1 \text{ mrad/hour} \div 60 \text{ min/hour} = 0.00166667 \text{ mrad/min}]

Next, we want to find out how much radiation exposure occurs over 10 minutes. This is accomplished by multiplying the dose per minute by the time duration in minutes:

• [0.00166667 \text{ mrad/min} \times 10 \text{ min} = 0.0166667 \text{ mrad}]

Now, we need to account for the Quality Factor (QF) given in the formula. In this case, there is a multiplication by 10 (QF). This indicates that the measured radiation poses a higher biological risk
