What absorbed dose would correspond to a potentially lethal


Assuming that the specific heat of the body is 1 cal g^-1 degrees C^-1,

a) Plot the approximate temperature rise as a function of whole body dose ranging from 100 mGy to 10 Gy

b) What absorbed dose would correspond to a potentially lethal heat body burden, assuming that a body temperature rise of 5 degrees C (normal body temperature ~ 37 degrees C) can be lethal?
