What is the maximum dose a person could receive in any 5 consecutive days in a Radiation Area?

  1. 5 millirems

  2. 100 millirems

  3. 500 millirems

  4. 1000 millirems

The correct answer is: 100 millirems

In a Radiation Area, the regulations set a limit on the amount of radiation exposure a person can safely receive over a specified period. For a period of 5 consecutive days, the maximum allowable dose is 100 millirems. This threshold is established to protect individuals from the cumulative effects of radiation exposure, ensuring safety while still allowing necessary work to be conducted in environments where radiation is present. This limit reflects the regulatory standards set forth by agencies that manage and oversee radiation safety, emphasizing the need to minimize exposure to individuals who may work in or be around radiation areas. Maintaining exposure within this limit allows for sufficient safety margins to reduce the risk of harmful effects associated with higher doses of radiation over time.
