Ans: Force The Law Of Conservation Of Energy States That The: Ans: Total Amount Of Energy In A Closed System Remains Unchanged When The Nucleons Are Combined To Form A Nucleus Some Of The Mass Is: Ans: Converted To Binding. Energy The Equation E=mc^2 States That: Ans: Mass & Energy Are Equivalent When Two Or More Light Nuclei Combine To From A Large Nucleus In Fusion, This Changes The: Ans: Binding Energy Isotopes Are Defined As Nuclides W/ The Same:

Ans: A Heavy Particle w/ a Mass Of 4 Amu & A Charge Of +2 That Is Emitted From The Nucleus Rad Ans: A Unit Of Absorbed Dose Half-Life Ans: The Length Of Time Required For One-Half Of The Original # Of Nuclei To Disintegrate Exposure Ans: The Ionization Caused By X-Ray & Gamma Radiation In Air Most Fission Products Are Unstable Because The Ratio Of Ans: Neutrons To Protons Is Too High (N:P) Curie

Ans: The Activity Of That Quantity Of Radioactive Material In Which 37 Billion Atoms Are Transformed Per Second The Rate Of Decay & The Type & Energy Of Decay Are Unique For Ans: Each Radionuclide If A Nuclide Is Found To Be Radioactive, & Has Not Been Involved W/ A Man-Made Process, The Nuclide Is Radioactive Ans: Naturally Identify One Aspect Associated W/ Radioactive Decay Which Most Identifies A Radionuclide Ans: Rate Of Decay Alpha Particle

Ans: Elastic Scattering Pair Production Ans: The Process Where A Photon Interacts W/ The Field Of The Nucleus, Converting The Photon Energy Into An Electron-Positron Set What Is The Minimum Photon Energy Required For The Pair Production Interaction To Occur? Ans: 1.02 Mev All But One Of The Following Is A Mechanism Of Energy Transfer For Beta Particles. The Exception Is: Ans: Compton Scattering Which Of The Following Cells Are The Most Radioresistant Ans: Bone

A Threshold Dose May Exist For Effect Ans: Non-Stochastic An Example Of A Stochastic Effect Is Ans: Cancer The Law Of Bergonie & Tribondeau States That The Radiosenstivity Of Tissue Is Proportional To Its Reproductive Capacity Ans: Directly Which Agency Was Given Legal Authority In 1946 To Regulate Safety Of Both Its Workers & Its Contract Workers According To Recommendations Of Then-Current Experts? Ans: Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Which Agency Took Over The Licensing Function Of The AEA For The Atomic Energy Industry?

One Purpose Of An ALARA Pre-Job Brief Is To: Ans: Identify Effective Dose Reduction Measures How Will Time Affect The Amount Of Source Material That Is Contributing To The External Exposure Of Personnel? Ans: The Longer The Period Of Time, The Greater The Amount Of Decay & Therefore The Lower The External Exposure Rate The Use Of "Mockups" To Reduce External Radiation Exposure Primarily Utilizes The Principle Of Ans: Time The Density-Thickness Value For The Lens Of The Eye On The Human Body Is Ans: 300 Mg/Cm^

A Mobilizing Agent Increases The Elimination Rate Of Radioactive Materials From The Body By: Ans: Increasing The Natural Turnover Process, Thus Releasing Incorporated Radioactive Atoms The Effective Half-Life Is Always The Biological Half-Life Ans: Less Than How Does A Blocking Agent Increase The Elimination Rate Of Radioactive Material From The Body? Ans: By Saturating The Metabolic Process In A Specific Tissue W/ The Stable Element The Biological Half-Life Is Always The Radiological Half-Life Ans: Independent Of The Effective Half-Life Is Always The Radiological Half-Life
