Your entire comment is incorrect. LD50 is lethal dose to kill on average 50% of the time. LD99 is the dose that kills 99% of people. The figures I listed are for humans. There’s no way to extrapolate LD50 from other species to humans. There is enough data on humans radiation exposure to directly calculate LD50.
