 There are many sources in hospitals and research labs from which you would absorb a lethal dose within seconds. It would take you hours or days to die, though.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

 10 sv/hr isn't high enough for that, though. It would take most of an hour to absorb a lethal dose at that rate.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

 3-6 sv hourly dosage is enough to kill if left untreated.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostUm, lethal dose is 10 seiverts.
 
 The article says 10 is the max the equipment could measure... so the spots are likely higher. Also, according to this
 
 
 
 Their have been readings of 266sv per hour in the steam. How long do you think you'd last in that?

 1/26th of an hour would be longer than 'seconds'. Just overall bad reporting. You'd need dosages of around 2000 severts an hour to give you a fatal dose in several seconds.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

 I'm not an expert. That's why I vote we send you there and find out to settle this issue. That way, there is no need to squabble.
