3) A person ate food contaminated with Cs-137 and Co-60.
The HP investigating this case concluded that the specific
activity in the food is 1.5 Ci/Kg ( Cs-137) and 2.5Ci/kg ( Co-60).
Assume that the person ate this food for 30 days, what is the
dose received? DCF for Cs-137 is 1.2 mSv/ Bq and Co-60 is 2.1
mSv/ Bq. ( Note: You need to calculate the dose from
Cs-137 and Co-60 separately and add the two doses to obtain total
dose).
