530 sieverts per hour...

What is that in roentgens or rads????

For equivalent dose, the unit corresponding to rads is the rem (roentgen equivalent man). If the absorbed dose is in grays then the unit for dose equivalent is sievert (Sv). Thus, 1 Sv = 100 rem. Roughly 1 rem is the average dose received in three years of exposure to natural radiation.

I read somewhere that four sieverts is enough to kill several people. Eight will raise Godzilla. Ten will make Chuck Norris’ balls fall off.

53000 rads/s according to an online calculator.

A Sievert is 100 rem. It is a measure of biological effect. So 530 Sv/hr is 53,000 rem per hour (not per second). That is about what you would get from 1/4th of an unshielded PWR fuel assembly on-contact after about five years of decay with typical LWR burnup at the assembly midplane.

1 SV = 100 RADS
