first of all a patient with 150 mCi cannot be released from a medical
facility until a dose rate of 5 mr/hr at one meter and or less than 30
mCi. the dose rate can be anywhere from 18-26 mr/hr at one meter.
Secondly the dose rate to the general public is 100 mrem/yr .
Yes the overall dose rate may be low but we are obligated to ensure 
as low as a dose possible to anyone in the ares of rad. material.
