The Effects Of Radiation Exposure
So, we now have a different question: what is the result when one is struck with radiation? We know the answer to this question. Among other things, you will likely contract radiation sickness as a result of exposure to a large amount of radiation in a short period of time. This will not be a pleasant experience whatsoever. Too much radiation exposure comes with burns, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. Apparently, it is common knowledge in the field that .75 grays of radiation exposure will result in your death. It is also known that exposure of this kind will be equivalent to around 18,000 x-rays! Clearly, we do not recommend finding this out for yourself.

Too Much Radiation
If you want to know how much radiation exposure is excessive, let us just say that any amount of radiation is already too much. It will only take a couple of mutated cells to create tumors. However, excessive radiation can lead to far worse things. If you want to find out how radioactive an object is, the answer will come in grays. In a typical x-ray, you will experience an amount of 0.00001 gray. Obviously, this is a minuscule amount. A CT scan is a little higher with the amount of 0.01 gray. However, the victims of a nuclear fallout such as that in Nagasaki and Hiroshima during the Second World War will receive 2 to 50 grays. We hope this is enough to give you a perspective on the severity of 3000 grays from a particle accelerator.
