Question:

A nuclear accident has exposed a 70 kg worker to 1 Ci of 2 MeV photons for about one minute. Assuming that all the energy of absorbed photons is deposited in the body, with uniform distribution,what absorbed dose of radiation has the worker suffered? What effective dose? What would have been his effective dose if the exposure had been concentrated entirely in his stomach (mass 0.5 kg)?
