Detailed explanation-1: -Acute radiation dose usually refers to a large dose of radiation received in a short period of time. Chronic dose refers to the sum of small doses received repeatedly over long time periods, for example, 20 mrem (or millirem, which is 1-thousandth of a rem (0.2 mSv) per week every week for several years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Basically, exposure is the amount of radiation in the area, and dose is the amount of that radiation expected to be absorbed by a person.
Detailed explanation-3: -The required conditions for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) are: The radiation dose must be large (i.e., greater than 0.7 Gray (Gy)1, 2 or 70 rads). Mild symptoms may be observed with doses as low as 0.3 Gy or 30 rads.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chronic exposure is radiation exposure that occurs over a long period of time.
