"Rule of Thumb" means a rule or principle that provides guidance to appropriate behavior.
According to the 710 Rule of Thumb, the exposure rate from a nuclear detonation decreases by a factor of 10 for each sevenfold increase in time after the event. Therefore, if the exposure rate is 500 R/hr one hour after detonation, after 14 days (which is approximately 336 hours or about 336/7 = 48 times the initial time), the exposure rate would decrease significantly. Applying the rule, the exposure rate would be approximately 0.5 R/hr after 14 days.
