Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 <<Thirty days has September, April, June and November .. and a person with 1,000 RADS.>> Butch, Actually, it's less than that. I just finished up second semester Gen. Chemistry and our next-to-last chapter was Nuclear Chemistry. Referring to my notes, exposures are: 25 REM (Roentgen Equivalent for Man) - changes to blood cells 100 REM - radiation sickness 450 REM - 50% death rate at 30 days 1000 REM - CERTAIN death (usually w/in 2-3 days) We learned some fascinating things about radiation. -- Melissa Bell Knoxville, TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
