1,000 millisieverts of radiation per hour
I don't understand. Can someone translate that into old-fashioned units like luminous watches per hockey game?
Various sources[1,2] indicate a range of 1-100 mrem/hr for a radium watch face, with about 20 mrem/hr looking like a plausible average. 1 mrem ==
1000 mSv/hr == 5000 radium watch faces/hockey game
