Question 90

Four workers at a materials-testing site are about to leave a controlled area.

  • Worker P gets radioactive liquid on a disposable glove. The glove is removed and the hand is washed before P leaves.
  • Worker Q gets radioactive dust on a boot cover and leaves while still wearing the boot cover.
  • Worker R is exposed to gamma radiation from a sealed source. The source is returned to its shielded store before R leaves.
  • Worker S is exposed to beta radiation from a sealed source. The source is returned to its shielded store before S leaves.

Which prediction about the workers after they leave the controlled area is correct?

[1]
A

Only worker Q continues to be exposed after leaving the controlled area.

B

Workers Q, R and S continue to be exposed after leaving the controlled area.

C

Workers R and S continue to be exposed after leaving the controlled area.
