| Table I.3, Calculational Method, Part 1---Hourly and Annual Dose Received from Gauge 1 | |||
| Step No. | Description | GAUGE 1 Input Data |
GAUGE 1 Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dose received in an hour at known distance from gauge (e.g., from manufacturer's data), in mrem/hr | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | Square of the distance (ft) at which the Step 1 rate was measured, in ft2 | (1) 2 | 1 |
| 3 | Square of the distance (ft) from the gauge to the secretary's desk in an unrestricted area, in ft2 | (8) 2 | 64 |
| 4 | Multiply the results of Step 1 by the results of Step 2 (this is an intermediate result) | 2 x 1 = 2 | |
| 5 | Divide the result of Step 4 by the result of Step 3 to calculate the dose received by an individual at the secretary's desk, HOURLY DOSE RECEIVED FROM GAUGE 1, in mrem in an hour. | 2/64 = 0.031 | |
| 6 | Multiply the result of Step 5 by 24 hr/d x 365 d/yr = MAXIMUM ANNUAL DOSE RECEIVED FROM GAUGE 1, in mrem in a year. | 0.031 x 24 x 365 = 0.031 x 8760 = 272 | |
