"TOD BEI 600 R - ATOM"
This is a newspaper headline in a film. Unfortunately there is no more context.
Does anyone know what R-Atom translates as? I know it must be to do with radioactivity but I don't quite know how to translate it.

Obwohl es nahezu drei Jahrzehnte her ist, dass Block 4 des Atomkraftwerk ..... Der momentane Grenzwert wurde nach Tschernobyl bei 600 Becquerel gesetzt.
“Grenzwerte sollen Sicherheit suggerieren, nach der Reaktorkatastrophe in Tschernobyl vor 25 Jahren hatten Verbraucherverbände statt der 600 Becquerel vor allem für Schwangere und Kindernahrung einen Richtwert von 60 Becquerel empfohlen”, erinnert die BI Lüchow Dannenberg und fordert, Grenzwerte nicht an wirtschaftlichen Interessen zu orientieren.

Reference:
Although the headline doesn't make much sense to me...
...this reference might help. One quote from the page: "A short-term dose of 600 roentgens would probably be fatal,"
The "R" probably refers to roentgens.
The "R" probably refers to roentgens.
Example sentence:
A short-term dose of 600 roentgens would probably be fatal,
Note from asker:
| Thank you. This definitely appears to be the right answer. And Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge!) also lists its symbol as R. Would you like to post this as an answer so that I can choose it? |
