It always helps to know a little bit of something about what your talking about so you don't make clueless statements like:



RBE is incorporated into the calculation of the Sievert as the Q value so the Sv is entirely independent of the type of radiation. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation all have different effects on tissue but one Sv of gamma, one Sv of Beta, or one Sv of Alpha radiation all have equivalent biological effects on humans because they use different Q values in calculation. That is why the Sievert is used. One number with all the adjustment factors to translate it into effects on humans already rolled in.
