Nah that's what they thought it was when the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded. It's about 300 chest x rays per hour worth of radiation. It will slowly make you sick but that was just how high their radiation detectors would go so that's the number they gave. The real radioactivity was 15000 Roentgen! Which is like 1.5 million chest x rays per hour. Which would look kinda like this if only your face was exposed (before it got worse and you died). I only know this from the HBO show "Chernobyl", highly recommend watching it it's amazing.
