The effective dose for Trainees/apprentices has been mentioned at 15 mSv in MCQ and answered as TRUE.

LD50/30 mentioned in MCQ 5 mSv which I think is 5 Sv as given in Book for Medical imaging by Farr
Could anyone please tell me the name of the "must read" book by Farr & Christenson. Is there a way to download it for free?
Thanks a million.
