radiation exposure status

radiation exposure status

Criteria to assist the commander in measuring unit exposure to radiation based on total past cumulative dose in centigray (cGy). Categories are as follows: (a) radiation exposure status-0--No previous exposure history. Also called RES-0; (b) radiation exposure status-1--Negligible radiation exposure history (greater than 0, but less than 70 cGy). Also called RES-1; (c) radiation exposure status-2--Significant but not a dangerous dose of radiation (greater than 70, but less than 150 cGy). Also called RES-2; (d) radiation exposure status-3--Unit has already received a dose of radiation which makes further exposure dangerous (greater then 150 cGy). Also called RES-3.
