immediate permanent ineffectiveness    The physiological response to radiation at levels of 3,000 centigrays (cGy) for physically demanding tasks or 3,800 cGy for physically undemanding tasks.

immediate target(s)                      (DOD) Targets that have been identified too late, or not selected for action in time to be included in the normal targeting process, and therefore have not been scheduled.

immediate transient ineffectiveness The physiological response to radiation at levels of 2,000 centigrays (cGy) for physically demanding tasks or 2,800 cGy for physically undemanding tasks. Personnel become ineffective for any task within 3 minutes of exposure and remain so for approximately 7 minutes. Personnel recover to greater than 75 percent of their pre‑exposure performance levels after about 10 minutes and remain so for about 30 minutes. Then their performance degrades for around 5 hours for undemanding tasks or 2 hours for demanding tasks, when radiation sickness becomes so severe that they are ineffective. They remain ineffective until death, which usually occurs in 5 to 6 days (FM 3‑3‑1)
