OK...Thanks...What is the half life of a seivert?
Is it classified as alpha, beta or gamma?
(this is the first time I ever heard of “seiverts”)

A sievert is a measure of radiation. It is not a radioactive material.

Seiverts refer to dosage, so there are different numbers for alpha, beta, and gamma. 1 Seivert = 100 Rem
As I am sure you know, half lives are specific to various isotopes.
One sievertthe international measurement of radiation exposureis enough to cause radiation sickness, infertility and cataracts. Exposure to 10 sieverts will lead to persons death within weeks,
