How much radiation did Harry Daghlian get?

Daghlian was estimated to have received a dose of 510 rem (5.1 Sv) of neutron radiation, from a yield of 1016 fissions. Despite intensive medical care, he developed symptoms of severe radiation poisoning, and his mother and sister were flown out to care for him (his father had died in 1943).
