    The SI dose equivalent UNIT of radiation = the Sievert {Sv} = 1.00 J/kg

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation for a 200 lb man = 455 J of radiation

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation for a 90.71847 kilogram man = 455 J of radiation

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation pre kilogram is = 455/ 90.71847 J

    =5 J/kg = 5 (Sv)

    ======================================

    The SI dose equivalent UNIT of radiation = the Sievert {Sv} = 1.00 J/kg

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation for a 200 lb man = 455 J of radiation

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation for a 90.71847 kilogram man = 455 J of radiation

    The minimum fatal dose of radiation pre kilogram is = 455/ 90.71847 = 5.01 J /kg

    = 5.01 (Sv)

    ======================================

    The USA dose UNIT of radiation = "Roentgen Equivalent Man" {rem} = 0.01 J/kg

    5.01/0.01 = 501{rem}

    =======================================

    the well-known term is rads. the unique term replaced into curies after the discoverer of the phenomenon Eve Curie. in all probability a well-known radiologist does no longer even comprehend what a curie is! each and every occupation has to have a language as a manner to be larger above we mere mortals.
