What is the effect of LD50 30 radiation on human skin?
LD50/30 radiation refers to the dose of radiation required to kill (LD=Lethal Dose) 50% of the test cohort within 30 days. Its normally specified for a particular species, rats, rabbits etc and is thought to be about 3-4 Sieverts in humans. The wikipedia article "Radiation Poisoning" has a table of effects of increasing radiation on humans. Note that at 3-4 Sv there are no skin effects if it is whole body exposure. If it is localised exposure then there will be radiation burns followed by erythema.
Is there any way to change the average amount of radiation emitted from a radioactive substance?
