Genetic defects are this type of effect
Stochastic
Cataracts are this type of effect
Stochastic
Stochastic
Probably going to happen
Somatic
This much dose causes this amount of effect
The science that deals with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in a population
Epidemiology
EfD includes medical procedures and background radiation
FalseIts just there
Means random in nature
Stochastic
Mental Retardation can happen at these doses
40 rem or 4 Gy
The purpose of the NRC
Nuclear Regulatory CommisionWho oversees the Nuclear Energy Industry
Radiation Safety Officers Responsibilities must include this
They identify problems provide corrective provesses and stop operations
Effective dose limits can be for the whole body, part of the body, and individual organism
TRUE
Radium is chemically similar to this element
Calcium
The Cum EfD of a 34 year old radiation worker
340 mSv
When nonstochastic effects occur
What is after large doses of radiation
Examples of late biologic damage
Cataracts, Leukemia and Genetic Mutations
The most important consideration of late somatic effects
What is Cancer
The implication of linear nonthreshold curve
What is the biologic repsonse is directly proportional to the dose
The agency THAT used to be known as the Atomic Energy Commission
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission aka NRC
The EfD system that takes the place of the previous system that is
Maximum Permissible Dose System aka EfD named now
Exposure for education and training must not exceed this
1 mSv or 1 Rem
The data that provides the foundation for the S-Shaped Threshold Curve
Data from the human population that is observed after acute high doses of radiation
A group that studies Japanese survivors run by Japanese government
Radiation Effects Research Foundation aka RERF
There is proof that low level radiation causes an increase in malignancy
Falseyou are least likely not to get a tumor
The organization that regulates your "right to know" regulates radiation exposure, and monitors workplace safety
OSHA
Responsibilites of the radiation safety committee
To help develop and guide a day-to-day operation of a safety program
Dose response of radiation induced cataracts
Nonlinear-threshold
The amount of radiation that can cause cataracts
0.1 Gy or 10 rads
Spontaneous Mutations
Radom occurrences of mutations in DNA
