Problem 40

At the site of a spill of radioactive iodine, radiation levels were four times the maximum acceptable limit, so an evacuation was ordered. If \(R_{0}\) is the initial radiation level (at \(t=0\) ) and \(t\) is the time in hours, the radiation level \(R(t)\), in millirems/hour, is given by $$ R(t)=R_{0}(0.996)^{t} $$ (a) How long does it take for the site to reach the acceptable level of radiation of \(0.6\) millirems/hour? (b) How much total radiation (in millirems) has been emitted by that time?
