Question 1

How do you convert microsieverts to millirem?

Accepted Answer

Multiply μSv by 0.1. Example: 10 μSv = 1 mrem. 1 Sv = 100 rem = 1000 mSv = 10⁶ μSv.

Question 2

What is a safe radiation level?

Accepted Answer

Occupational limit: 50 mSv/year. Public limit: 1 mSv/year above background. ALARA principle applies.

Question 3

What's the difference between exposure and dose?

Accepted Answer

Exposure (roentgen) measures radiation in air. Absorbed dose (gray/rad) measures energy deposited. Equivalent dose (sievert/rem) accounts for biological effect.

Question 4

What are safe radiation levels?

Accepted Answer

Background radiation: ~3 mSv/year. Occupational limit: 50 mSv/year. Single dose effects start around 250 mSv. Always follow ALARA principle.
