Questions on Radiation

[Hamrick]

Hello.

I've run into some confusion as it pertains to the Basic rules on Radiation.

1. When it comes to continuing doses from ingestion, the rules state that the rad dose can range from 1 rad/day, to several per minute. How long do these actually last though?

2. If you experience multiple doses of rads separately, would you experience the same exact effects over again? For example, if you experienced three different 40 rad doses, would you suffer from Hematopoietic syndrome three different times?

3. Lastly, how do you actually determine a 'dose'. For instance, if you accumulate 1 rad a day for a week, would that be 7 one rad doses, or one 7 rad dose at the end of the week.

I might be overthinking things, but I just wanted to make sure I was handling this correctly.

Thanks!
