What are the health effects of exposure to these levels of radiation? I heard reports of liver damage, especially for those that already have liver problems.

25-100 Rem...some sickness, not disabling

100-200 Rem...nausea, vomiting, 1% reduction in life expectancy

200-300 Rem....probable recovery in 3 months

300-600 Rem...Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea in first few hours. After a latent period of a week, loss of hair, malaise, fever, progressing to hemorrhage and emaciation in the third week.

500 Rem, 50% die in 2 to 6 weeks.

600 Rem...Almost all those exposed die within weeks.
