Confused by all these new terms re the radiation coming out of the F Nuclear Plants in Japan? Me to. I keep waiting for someone to use REMs, which is the term I remember.
Here, from one of the cartoons I follow, when I follow them, is a chart showing relative sources of radiation.

Also, 100 REM = 1 Sv

Heh - should've clicked your REM link since it already points to Wikipedia :-P
This stuff gets so confusing, Sievert, Rad, Rem, roentgen, Curie, Gray...
