Also this: > Devair Ferreira himself survived despite receiving 7 Gy of radiation. He died in 1994 of cirrhosis aggravated by depression and binge drinking. A ‘Gy’ is a ‘Gray’, and is a measure of absorbed radiation (almost always estimated obviously). Deviar absorbed more than anyone yet survived the incident that ultimately took the lives of his wife and daughter and two of his employees. For reference a Gray is ‘defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.[1]’. The fact that he survived this blows me away.
