750 RADS is way beyond a lethal human dose.

Taking iodine won’t help you if that is the actual radiation dose.

Correct. An adult will start have GI bleeding around 250-300 REMs/RADS and has a good chance at croaking. 500 rems/rads and it’s byebye for real...but there are some new meds that were approved by FDA back ~ 2004 that may help but 750 would mean everyone would have to hunmker down in their basements for several days at least.
