Is there an OSHA for animals? I feel like there should be if there isn't.

And nothing of value was damaged. Only a Skod� somewhere in Denmark.

There's a book about it. It's not nearly as gruesome as I expected, but it's pretty heartwrenching to read all the same.

Dude would not have survived, no matter the technology. That amount of radiation exposure pretty much ensures your body will melt down at the cellular level after enough time passes.

Radiation doses under absurd doses (>100 Gy or so) actually only hurt the types of cells that constantly produce new differentiated cells like those in your intestinal crypts, bone marrow, hair folicles, etc.. So a lot of your body is perfectly unharmed and functional even though your hair is falling out, your skin is messed up, your gut is rotting, and your blood is devoid of immune cells, and so forth. That's why it takes so long to die and why things are really gross and painful while it's happening.

That's also why there's a lead time on symptoms, because it takes some time for the current supply of already-differentiated cells in your body to die naturally and subsequently not be replaced

edit: That said a ~3-month survival time following that kind of dose is actually really impressive

Atomic Accidents by Jim Mahaffey had a good write-up about it if I'm not mistaken. It's worth a read either way.

"She died on October 23, 1987, of "septicemia and generalized infection" at the Marcilio Dias Navy Hospital, in Rio de Janeiro.[13] She was buried in a common cemetery in Goi�nia, in a special fiberglass coffin lined with lead to prevent the spread of radiation. Despite these measures, news of her impending burial caused a riot of more than 2,000 people in the cemetery on the day of her burial, all fearing that her corpse would poison the surrounding land. Rioters tried to prevent her burial by using stones and bricks to block the cemetery roadway. She was buried despite this interference."

"Devair Ferreira himself survived despite receiving 7 Gy of radiation. He died in 1994 of cirrhosis aggravated by depression and binge drinking"

Here's a report from very shortly after the accident

http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/TOAC_web.pdf

quote:

On 2 October 1999, patient A was admitted to the
hospital of the University of Tokyo, and on 4 October
patient B was transferred to the hospital at the Institute of
Medical Science of the University of Tokyo (IMSUT).
Patient C was treated at NIRS. The team visited the
hospitals on 16 October 1999 and saw patients A
and B [13, 171.
It was reported that patient A had a markedly
reduced lymphocyte count and marked hypocellular
bone marrow. A fully matched donor (sister) was found
and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was
effected on 5 October 1999. Thus he had survived for
16 days (until the IAEA Secretariat team�s visit) in a critical
condition, which for doses reported in other cases
had led to a fatal outcome within two weeks. At the time
of going to press, he was reported to remain in a critical
condition with a very poor prognosis.

They had estimated his dose in the range of 10-20 Gy and even they're amazed that he survived as long as he did, and he still had more than two months to go

My recommendation: If you get zapped this badly, kill yourself in the 2-3 day-ish period before incapacitating symptoms have a chance to mainifest

edit: or don't, because it gives us health physicists more data to work with

That's why I roll my eyes whenever someone says, "Why didn't they just euthanize the poor person?" Because they can't get as much data out of a corpse, duh.
