Radiation and Fission Concepts Quiz

I. Statements I and III are correct. Shielding with lead reduces equivalent dose from radiation, while increasing exposure time increases equivalent dose. II. With a half-life of 64 years, and starting with 8 radioactive nuclei, the activity of the source would be 4 x 104 Bq. III. Statement III is correct. Neutrons released during uranium fission can cause other nuclei to undergo fission, producing heat. Electrons are not involved in fission in a nuclear power station.

11. A sample of tissue is irradiated using a radioactive source.

A student makes the following statements about the sample.


I The equivalent dose received by the sample is reduced by shielding the sample with a
lead screen.
II The equivalent dose received by the sample is increased as the distance from the
source to the sample is increased.
