Radiation Worker Same as an Approved User v. Rem - A special unit of quantities expressed as dose equivalent. The dose equivalent in rems is equal
33、 to the absorbed dose in rads multiplied by the quality factor (one rem = 0.01 Sievert). w. Restricted area - An area access to which is limited by the licensee for purposes of protection of individuals against undue risks from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. x. Roentgen - The speci
34、al unit of exposure. One roentgen (R) equals 2.58E-04 coulombs per kilogram of air (see “Exposure”). y.
