Re: Units of high dose

[Christoph_Hofmeyr/CNS1@cns.co.za]

Radsafers,
The Japanese criticality accident which has been filling the headlines, has
apparently caused severe radiation injury to a few workers.  Possible doses
received have been reported in Sievert.  The question I would like to pose
to the experts: in the dose range where deterministic effects are
prevalent, is it not more correct to measure in Gray?
