[ RadSafe ] Co-60 exposure rate

[Geo>K0FF]

The exposure rate constant for Co-60 is 1.37011, so, just a wild guess, but I would say 3.598960E+005 mR/H, or 359.895996163823 R/H, 

or did you want it in Sv/H? = 3.15628788635672

Assumes a point source, in AIR of course, no shielding. 

What did you get Chris?

  Ah, but what is the gamma dose rate at 60 cm?

  I wish this list was more about radiation safety (like it used to be) and 
  less about peoples opinions about uranium toxicity.  Go to a medical site 
  and dispute your claims.  This is starting to become very boring. who gives 
  a F**ck about uranium solubility (oh about 3 people on this site). Let's 
  discuss acutal questions that come up in the real world of health phyics. 
  Can anyone give me the current activity of a Co-60 source that had an 
  original acitivity of 200 Ci. 5.27 years ago?
