Can some one explain in simple terms why cancer, death, leukemia 
(cancer), etc.  are the only bench marks used to determine whether or 
not radiation exposure has caused injury or had an adverse affect?  
These consequences seem to me to be severe enough that some lesser form 
of harm might be better suited as a bench mark, so as to preclude the 
possibility of cancer, death, leukemia etc.
