[ RadSafe ] 1996 Question 9 Part D.3 answer

[WILLIAM LIPTON]

As a start, specify the units.  (That's something that Dr. Skrable always emphasized.)  The 51.1 term should derive from the unit conversions.

All,
I am studying for Part II. I found this answer from the exam solutions by Ken Skrable. Can somebody please explain where the (51.1) term came from? Here's the equation:

CEDE = (51.1) *[A Eavg/m lambdae]



Regards,

John
