/proc/radiation_pulseSo in Civ13 theres two measures of radiation used: Sieverts (and mSv and uSv) for emitted radiation and Grays/rads (1 Gy = 100 rads) for absorbed radiation. GRAYS: basic unit used is rad. For an adult human, exposure to 2 Gy from an unfocused radiation source such as an excursion will cause radiation sickness but is not considered definitely lethal; 2.4-3.4 Gy is the median lethal dose; a dose of 5 Gy almost always kills. SIEVERTS: basic unit used is mSv. An exposure to 1 Sv for 1 hour gives a total exposure of 1 Gy (since 1 Sv is equal to 1 Gy for all except alpha radiation). The radiation var of humans is measured in rads, so 100 radiation means 1 Gy. 1 mSv = 0.1 rad RAD_LEVEL_NORMAL 15 //0.15 Gy, equal to 1 year smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes a day. Avg dose for Chernobyl recovery workers. RAD_LEVEL_MODERATE 40 //Gives mild radiation poisoning symptoms (vomiting, erytrema) RAD_LEVEL_HIGH 100 //Gives radiation poisoning (passing out, twitches, severe erytrema) RAD_LEVEL_VERY_HIGH 200 //Severe radiation poisoning, sometimes fatal RAD_LEVEL_CRITICAL 300 //LD50 RAD_LEVEL_DEADLY 500 //Always kills
