Radiation Safety Rules of Thumb

TR-2 Alpha Particle An alpha energy of at least 7.5 MeV is required to penetrate the protective layer of the skin (0.07mm).

TR-3 Beta Particle A beta energy of at least 70 keV is required to penetrate the protective layer of the skin (0.07mm).

TR-4 Beta Particle The average energy of a beta-spectrum is approximately one-third the maximum energy.

TR-5 Beta Particle The range of beta particles in air is about 12 ft per MeV. (e.g. The maximum range of P-32 betas is: 1.71 MeV x 12 ft/MeV ≈ 20 ft)

TR-6 Beta Particle The skin dose rate from a uniform thin deposition of 1 μCi/cm2 is about 9 Rem/hr for energies above 0.6 MeV.

TR-7 Beta Particle For a beta emitter point source, the dose rate in rem/hr at one foot is approximately 300 x Ci where Ci is the source strength in curies. This calculation neglects any shielding provided by the air, which can be significant.

TR-8 Gamma & X-Ray For a point source gamma emitter with energies between 0.07 and 2 MeV, the exposure rate in R/hr at 1 foot is approximately 6CEn, where C is the activity in curies; E is the energy in MeV; and n is the number of gammas per disintegration.

TR-9 Gamma & X-Ray Gammas and x-rays up to 2 MeV will be attenuated by at least a factor of 10 by 2 inches of lead.
