neutrons are produced at a rate of 2.8x10+6 neutrons/second/curie Am-241 for an optimally, well mixed source of americium and beryllium.
the neutron dose rate of a one curie Am-Be source would be 34.7 mR/hr (or 347 µSv/hr) at 30 cm.
the gamma dose rate of a one curie Am-Be source would be 0.17 mR/hr (or 17 µSv/hr) at 30 cm.
americium-241 also decays by spontaneous fission with a half life of 2x10+14 years, producing 0.18 neutrons/second/curie Am-241. note that beryllium is not required for this neutron production mechanism.

How do you calculate dose using granular chlorine?
To calculate the dose of granular chlorine needed, you first need to know the volume of water to be treated and the desired chlorine concentration. Then, you can use the formula: dose (in pounds or grams) = volume of water (in gallons or liters) x desired chlorine concentration (in ppm) / 10,000. This will give you the amount of granular chlorine needed to achieve the desired concentration in the water.
How you can calculate the maintenance dose in the formulation of controlled release tablets?
Dt = Dose (1 + 0.693 × t/t1/2) Where, Dt = Total dose, Dose = Immediate release dose, t = Total time period for which sustained release is required, t1/2 = Half-life of drug.
What dose of ferrous gluconate in mg is equivalent to ferrous sulphate prescribed?
it is the same answer because ferrous is metal and it is equivalent gmoubarak: that is incorrect, you have to see how much elemental iron both are equivalent to and dose them by elemental iron content. ferrous sulfate is 20% elemental iron ferrous gluconate is 12% elemental iron therefore 100 mg of ferrous sulfate is 20mg elemental iron, and 100 mg of ferrous gluconate is 12 mg elemental iron. You can then use this to calculate the conversion between the too. When dosing the two you have to use elemental iron need. Hope this helps. G.Moubarak PharmD
What is the recommended dosage of medication in a single dose, measured at 0.05ml?
The recommended dosage of medication in a single dose is 0.05ml.
What is a sentence for the idiom like a dose of flakes?
I have never heard this. It's usually 'like a dose of salts', meaning fast and thoroughly. 'She arrived with a basket of cleaning supplies and went through the house like a dose of salts.'
How do you calculate yield of Am-Be source of 1 Ci?
To calculate the yield of an Am-Be source (alpha source), you need to consider the decay rate of the source and the energy of emitted particles. By measuring the activity rate of the source, you can determine the fraction of emitted particles that interact with the target material. This yield calculation is essential for radiation protection and dose estimation.
How do you calculate the integral dose?
mean dose x mass = integral dose
How do you Calculate annual radiation dose?
There are various tools available that you can use to calculate your annual radiation dose. You need to provide the required values to get the dose.
How many protons and neutrons dose fluorine have?
proton of fluorine is 9 and neutron is also 9
How you can calculate the amount to administer?
I prefer to use the fractional proportion method: Desired Dose ----------------- X Dosage Unit = A Dose On Hand
What is unique about receiving a dose of neutron radiation and an equivalent dose of other types of radiation either ionizing or nonionizing?
The neutron radiation can turn stable elements in your body to radioactive isotopes (called neutron activation). This makes you radioactive in a way that cannot be removed by any attempt at decontamination. No other type of radiation can do this.
How you calculate maximum daily dose?
maximum daily dose for a drug product is calculated based on clinical studies. To know a max. daily dose we can refer medsafe website. Generally this website is reliable.
What kind fo power source dose hovercraft used?
The manure. You can get it from the guy with the shovel.
What is the formula you use to calculate drug calculations?
Which drug calculations? The toxic dose, the effective dose, the required dose, the metabolic halflife, the time since consuming and many more calculations require completely different formulae and data.
If an element has 12 protons and 13 neutrons how many electrons dose it have?
12 electrons. Remember, electrons and protons must be balanced in charge; neutron number may vary.

What is meant by supercritical andhow dose it relate to making a nuclear bomb?
subcritical - a mass or arrangement of fissionable or fissile material unable to sustain a neutron chain reaction. It can provide a fixed amount of neutron multiplication from a neutron source, but after removal of the neutron source the chain reaction rate drops exponentially.critical - a mass or arrangement of fissionable or fissile material capable of sustaining a constant neutron chain reaction. No increase or decrease. (Nuclear reactors operate at critical)supercritical - a mass or arrangement of fissionable or fissile material capable of not only sustaining a neutron chain reaction, but once initiated the chain reaction rate rises exponentially. (Nuclear fission bombs explode when made supercritical)A nuclear fission bomb must have 2 of these states: subcritical (so that it can't explode until desired) and supercritical (so that it explodes with an effective yield). This requires a rapid "assembly" system using conventional explosives to rearrange the fissile material from subcritical to supercritical in about 1ms. A neutron source starts the chain reaction and the explosion completes in about 1 microsecond.
