You're exactly right... DOE regulations only permit .5rem or 500 millrem per year (rem = Roentgen Equivalent Man....energy obsorbed by different types of radiation with effect to biologial damage.)
When she was recieving 500 or 700 mrem that was a pretty good dose. That is calculated per hour and this would be a whole body dose... so that is a fair amount. I don't think any sheilding would help either.. I am very surprised she didn't pick any contamination up on her shoes and her bike.
I currently work at the Hanford site in Wa and consequently have to know this kind of stuff. Dosimeters and hand and shoe counters are unfortunately a daily routine here.
Chernobyl was a tragedy...
