Respuesta
-
True
-
False
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Why is a G-M counter not suitable for quantifying the exposure rate of a high activity spill?
Respuesta
-
the system is paralyzable at exposure levels greater than 2000 mR/hr
-
the detector probe cannot be positioned correctly to detect removable activity contained in a spill
-
the G-M counter is most sensitive to high energy radionuclide sources, which are not commonly used in nuclear medicine
-
the exposure rate would be overestimated
