Russian Criticality accident

[D J Hornsey <bssdjh@bath.ac.uk>]

Boyd Rose has made the comment that the report of the accident contains
some interesting statements. One further one is the reported dose of 600
roentgens of neutron radiation. Such a statement must have come from a
scientific source and it concerns me that such errors are being made. With
the unfortunate death of the researcher within such a short time of
exposure, it would be informative to have the correct units (rems or
sieverts) of the dose he received.
