Lethal dose
scroll 
Ionizing radiation dose leading to the death of the
irradiated individual due to acute radiation injuries. The average lethal
dose (LD50) is the dose where half of the individuals with
similar irradiation quantities die. LD1 is the dose leading
to a mortality of 1% of the irradiated persons; consequently, LD99 is lethal for all (99%) persons irradiated. Taking account of an increased
radiation sensitivity of certain population groups on the one hand and
the progress of medical care on the other hand, mainly homogeneous irradiation
of the whole human body - the bone marrow dose is particularly important
in this case - an LD1 of 2.5 Gy, LD50 of 5 Gy
and LD99 of 8 Gy results.
