The isotopes half-life is 5 days the average energy of the


A 75.0 kg patient swallows a 30 Ci beta emitter that is to be used as a tracer. The isotope's half-life is 5 days. The average energy of the beta particles is 0.35 MeV with an RBE of 1.5. Ninety percent of the beta particles are absorbed within the patient's body and 10% escape. What total dose (in mSv) does the patient receive?
