The maximum safe limit dose for persons working in a nuclear power station is:
Correct answer: C. 4 rem per week
- A. 1 rem per week
- B. 5 rem per week
- C. 4 rem per week
- D. 3 rem per week
Explanation
The maximum safe limit dose for radiation exposure is typically set at 4 rem per week for individuals working in a nuclear power station. Rem (roentgen equivalent man) is a unit of equivalent dose, which takes into account the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
