Which of the following thicknesses of materials would be the best<br />

choice for shielding a 5 Ci preparation of P-32?<br />

A) 1/8 inch of lead<br />

B) 1/4 inch of aluminum<br />

C) one foot of air<br />

D) one inch of lucite plastic<br />

E) any of the above<br />

The correct answer is: D<br />

P-32 is a "pure beta emitter" with a 14.82 day half-life and a<br />

1.7 MeV Emax. It is typically used in therapeutic medical<br />

procedures. When shielding beta particles, low atomic number<br />

materials are used to reduce the probability of bremsstrahlung<br />

photons.
