Sunstroke / Chap. 15 p. 131<br />
This table must have been concocted by the same governmental geniuses that stationed<br />
US troops close to ground zero at those early A-bomb tests in Nevada. Those explosions<br />
were as powerful as those used in Japan. But then, after the burst, they had them charge<br />
toward ground zero without any protection. Ah, well, if we can believe this chart you and I<br />
have no real worries about a dose almost 1000 times higher than the allowable limit for SST<br />
patrons.<br />
From page 4 through 14 in McKinnon's book there is a tabular chronology of these<br />
events including a series of small tables to show the accumulating doses that astro-nots<br />
might have received had they been on a mission during this period. One table shows skin<br />
and organ dosage, and is further divided into other columns showing the shielding provided<br />
by the suit during a Moon or space walk, the radiation absorbed inside the LEM and inside<br />
the command module.<br />
