Two days ago, I was injected with a radioactive substance.
This is the information on the substance.
The specific gamma ray constant for Tc99m is 5.4 microcoulombs/Kg-MBq-hr (0.78R/mCi-hr) at 1 cm. The first half value layer is 0.017 cm of Pb. A range of values for the relative attenuation of the radiation emitted by this radionuclide that results from interposition of various thicknesses of Pb is shown in Table 2. To facilitate control of the radiation exposure from Megabequerel (millicurie) amounts of this radionuclide, the use of a 0.25 cm thickness of Pb will attenuate the radiation emitted by a factor of 1,000.
The Dr. said I will very likely be dead in 50 years.
I am now 71. Sounded like good news!
You’ll live as long as Moses! Seen any burning bushes lately...this country needs a new prophetic vision!
LOL
Do tell!
When I am injected with radioactive material for a nuclear stress test, I simply amuse my great-grandkids by glowing in the dark.
Beats .25 cm. thickness of Pb all to heck!
