[1] The data are based on the extensive study of mortality resulting from radiation exposure and a compilation of animal experimental data published by Jones, Morris, Wells, and Young at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.[2] The LD[sub]50 for humans is mathematically predictable as a function of dose rate and duration of exposure.

Equation (2) shows that W is given in [mu]Gee [m.sup.2]/week units, and the equivalent dose rate in [mu]Sv/week units; the change from units of dose to equivalent dose is due to the weighting factor of the type of radiation, which for the photon rays is equal to 1 and permits changing from Gy to Sv.
