The rad is an obsolete unit of measure. It is not an abbreviation.
According to Anwers.com, it is a "unit of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joules per kilogram of irradiated material. It has been replaced as a standard scientific unit by the gray."
The gray is the official SI unit equal to one joule per kilogram.

How does UV radiation harm humans?
Since UV radiation has a shorter wavelenght than normal light it hits an object with the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3eV to 124 eV. It causes cancer to skin cells under direct exposition of UV rad.

How much is a rad of radiation?
A rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, but it is not commonly used anymore. The International System of Units now uses the gray (Gy) as the standard unit for absorbed radiation dose. 1 rad is equal to 0.01 gray.
What unit measures radiation damage to human tissue?
The unit that measures radiation damage to human tissue is the Sievert (Sv). It takes into account the type of radiation, the amount of radiation absorbed, and the sensitivity of the tissue being exposed.

How do you reduce radiation bar in Fallout 3?
You can take Rad away (which will lower your radiation) you can take Rad-x (which will prevent you from getting radiated but 25%) or you can see a doctor to heal your self
Is 0.3 a lot of radiation?
You need to specify the units used to take the measurement. It could be presented in Sv, Gy, rad or mrem. (So I am asking you 0.3 what??)Light radiation sickness begins at about50-100 rad0.5-1 gray (Gy)0.5-1 Sievert (Sv)50-100 rem50,000-100,000 mremSo if your measurement is in Rad - no it's not a lot. If it's in Gy or Sv then it is a significant dose, but will not cause acute sickness. If it's in rem then it's not a lot.
What are the units of measurement for radiation?
The units of measurement for radiation include gray (Gy) for absorbed dose, sievert (Sv) for equivalent dose, and becquerel (Bq) for activity. These units help quantify the amount of radiation exposure or contamination.
