Description - The worker's internal dose component for Example 2

In this example, the worker's internal dose component (I) equals the recorded intake of radium-226 of 26,000 becquerels multiplied by the dose coefficient for ingestion of radium-226, which is 2.8 times 10 to the power of negative seven Sieverts per becquerel. The worker's internal dose component (I) equals 0.0073 Sieverts or 7.3 millisieverts.
