Linac Shielding Barriers Practice Problem
A linear accelerator for radiation therapy has a workload of 467 Gy/wk and is directed at a barrier for 27% of the time it is on. The room directly behind the barrier is controlled and is occupied 34% of the time. What is the number of tenth value layers (TVL) required to reduce the primary radiation dose to the acceptable level at a distance of 8.6 meters?
Primary Barrier: TVL
