Dosage in REMS Biological Effect : 25    notable change in blood cell components  100  radiation sickness - nausea, vomiting, decrease in white blood cell count, diarrhea, dehydration, prostration, hemorrhaging and loss of hair  200  the same as above but more pronounced in a shorter period of time    400  ½ of any population exposed to this dosage will be dead in 60 days    600  all exposed to this level will be dead in one week 
 
Chernobyl Anyone near the Chernobyl plant when it melted down received 400 rems also immediately.  The day after 1 rem/hr was found in the nearest city.  Normal background radiation is 1,000 times lower than this
