Tardigrades can survive exposure to radiation that would be deadly to normal organisms. The half-lethal dose for tardigrades (the dose that kills half of the subjects) is 3,000 to 5,000 Gy (gray).

HaCaT cells, THP-1 cells, and HAEC cells were irradiated with a 10 Gray (Gy) dose of X-rays, while RAW 264.7 cells were irradiated with a 10 Gy dose of γ-rays.
