GAUGE 3 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 | (3) 2 | 9 |
| 3 | Square of the distance (ft) from the gauge to the secretary's desk in an unrestricted area, in ft2 | (15) 2 | 225 |
| 4 | Multiply the results of Step 1 by the results of
Step 2 (this is an intermediate result) |
2 x 9 =18 | |
| 5 | Divide the result of Step 4 by the result of Step 3 to calculate dose received by an individual at the secretary's desk, HOURLY DOSE RECEIVED FROM GAUGE 3, in mrem in an hour | 18/225 = 0.08 | |
| 6 | Multiply the result of Step 5 by 24 hr/d x 365 d/yr = MAXIMUM ANNUAL DOSE RECEIVED FROM GAUGE 3, in mrem in a year | 0.08 x 24 x 365 = 0.08 x 8760 = 701 | |
