Calculate the effective radiation dosage in sieverts for a 71
‑kg person who is exposed to 8.6×109 particles of alpha radiation.
Only 79% of the radiation is absorbed. Assume each alpha particle
has an energy of 6.9×10−13 J and that the RBE of the alpha
particles is 15 . Note that RBE is sometimes called the quality
factor ( 𝑄 ). effective radiation dosage: Sv
