Given :

Whole-body dose of 8.4 mGy from gamma-rays and 1.2 mGy from 80-Kev neutrons.

To Find :

The effective dose to a worker.

Solution :

By the given information effective dose to a worker is given by :

E.D = ( 8.4 × 1.2 × 0.12 ) + ( 1.2 × 1 × 1 )

E.D = 1.2096 + 1.2

E.D = 2.4096

Therefore, the effective dose to a worker is 2.4096 .
