I must be missing something, but [1] says "A whole-body exposure to 5 or more gray of high-energy radiation at one time usually leads to death within 14 days."

I see values of up to 460 Gy/h on this map, what time unit does [1] talk about that 5 is deadly but 460 is normal?

- manveru 16y agoOK, I'm reasonably sure now that Wikipedia speaks about Gy/s. That means that 5 Gy/s are 18000 Gy/h. 450 Gy/h equals 0.125 Gy/s.
