Module 2: 
Biological Effects 
Terminal Objective : 
Given various radiation doses and sources of radiation, identify natural and manmade sources of 
radiation and the biological risks associated with radiation dose in accordance with lesson materials. 
Enabling Objectives: 
The participant will be able to select the correct response from a group of responses to verify his/her 
ability to: 
EO1 
Identify the major sources of natural background and manmade radiation.

Identify the average annual dose to the general population from natural background and manmade 
sources of radiation. 
EO3 
State the method by which radiation causes damage to cells. 
EO4 
Identify the possib le effects of radiation on cells. 
EO5 
Define the terms "acute dose" and "chronic dose." 
EO6

EO8 
State the potential effects associated with prenatal radiation dose. 
EO9 
Compare the biological risks from chronic radiation doses to health risks workers are subjected 
to in industry and daily life.
