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.

Why does black skin reflect the sun's rays?
It does not reflect solar radiation as well as lighter skin, although perspiration would influence that. Dark skin contains melanin, a pigment that gives skin more protection from the damaging effect of ultraviolet radiation.
