4. Each time the source is making a radiograph

117..What is the most important thing you can do to avoid an over-exposure to radiation?

1. Record your dosimeter readings after each work shift2. Always wear the personnel dosimetry provided3. Always make proper radiation surveys4. Set the survey meter close to the camera during each exposure on the X100 scale.

118..With a collimator, a 45 Curie IR-192 source indicates an exposure rate of 8,296 mr/hr at 1’. For this same source, the collimator will indicate 2 mr/hr at 60’. The exposure rate of a 35 curie CO-60 source will also be 2mr/hr at what distance using the same collimator?

1. 48 feet2. 86 feet3. 68 feet4. 78 feet

119..The majority of overexposures to radiographers can be summed up:

1. The source was not fully retracted in the camera2. The source becomes jammed in the source guide tube3. Forgetting to retract the source4. Failure to make proper radiation survey

120..Specific Activity is expressed in:

1. Roentgen2. MR3. Curies per gram4. RAD

121..An individual under the age of 18 (a minor) cannot receive a dose of ionizing radiation in excess of

1. 50 % of 5000mR2. 10% of 5000mR3. 25% of 5000mR4. 75 % of 5000mR

122. When removing a radioactive material device from storage a radiographer should have:

2. A direct reading pocket dosimeter, OSL, TLD, Film Badge, and an alarming rate meter on his/her person.3. done a batter check on survey meter4. all of the above

123. If an assistant radiographer is told by the radiographer that he should not wear his personal monitoring equipment they should:

1. always obey the radiographer2. wear his dosimeter and rate alarm but not his/her TLD, OSL or Film Badge3. Drag up on the job4. Wear his personal monitoring equipment and notify his supervisor and RSO about the situation as soon as possible.
