define NCRP - answer national council of radiation protection and
measurements
define ALARA - answer as low as reasonably achievable
define tissue weighted factor - answer relative radiosensitivity of organs and
tissues
define extremity monitor - answer a ring or wrist badge
define personnel monitor - answer a radiation dosimeter designed to measure
the intensity of occupational radiation exposure (film badge, TLD, OSL)

or mR/mAs
define extremity DL - answer 500 mSv/yr (50 rem/yr)
define effective dose - answer the whole body equivalent dose of a partial body
exposure that will produce the same response
define threshold dose - answer A radiation dose below which the response under
investigation will not be observed
