Calculating the dosage of radiation received in relation to a person's proximity to the sun?

How do we do this? Is there a formula that exists for this purpose?

the solar radiation intensity given some distance D is given by the formula H₀=(r²/D²)*H, where H is the power density at the sun's surface in W/m², r is the radius of the sun in meters and D is the distance from the sun in meters.

What if it's a nuclear power plant and not the sun?

Nuclear power plants are not going to emit any significant amount of radiation unless the power plant suddenly went boom. Then it would be similar to being high up in the Earth's atmosphere.

How do you convert w/m² to sieverts or rem?

There's a character in fiction who was containing and amplifying radiation from a nuclear plant melting down so I was just curious

Similar to being on top of Earth's entire atmosphere but still shielded by a magnetosphere esq level I think

incompatible units

How do we calculate radiation dosage in terms of sieverts or rem then?

the biological damage caused by standing on the surface of the sun should be around 2.32e+11 Sv/s, then divide 2.32e+11 by the square of some distance D in meters and it should be approximately equal to the radiation dosage in sieverts.

I see.
