A radiation worker ingests 1.0 μg of 239Pu. Calculate the total dose in rem to the surrounding tissue. The dose DD in rem is calculated using the equation: D=A⋅Dose FactorD = A \cdot \text{Dose Factor} Where: AA is the activity of the radioactive substance (in Ci or Bq). The dose factor depends on the type of radiation and the tissue irradiated. For 239Pu, the dose factor for alpha particles is typically provided in units of rem per Ci per year or per mCi. In this case, since the worker ingested 1.0 μg1.0 \, \mu g of plutonium, we can use standard dose factors and the activity of the substance to compute the dose.
