Instructions Radiation Safety Report The executives at Acme Manufacturing Co. were impressed by your first report, and they have asked you and BSCI to return for more work. BSCI has been contracted by Acme Manufacturing Co. to conduct a study to determine employee exposures to radiation. In addition, your company has been contracted to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, including shielding. After conducting a field assessment, prepare a written report for Bob Sanders (CSP) to present to the Board of Directors. During your field investigation, you find the following field observations: Test Equipment and Repair Facility The company has an on-site test equipment and repair facility. Much of the test equipment contains a radiation source. Normal practice inside the facility is to limit the time of exposure of employees working on this equipment as a method of control. However, the company is looking at the possibility of installing lead shields or increasing the distance from the source, thus increasing employee time working on equipment. Based on the following information determine the employee’s exposure: LocationEmployeeDistance (Initial)Distance (Proposed)Intensity (Initial)Intensity at proposed distance Bench #3Rita Ray D’Ashun0.5 ft.2 ft.110 mrem/hUnknown Bench #5Robert Long1 ft.3 ft.137 mrem/hUnknown Bench #6Paul Row0.75 ft.1.5 ft.102 mrem/hUnknown Based on this information, determine the employee’s actual exposure rate to the radiation source.
