Comment on 1959 Santa Susana meltdownparent

That’s an overly reductive analysis based on generalized whole body doses from (external generally) ionizing radiation, and not relevant to absorbed isotopes and internal radiation.

Which is what we were discussing.

There is a reason one of the first things handed out during a nuclear accident is potassium iodide pills, and it’s not to protect against gamma radiation.

What is your point exactly?
