Recent comments on the list caused me to
look up some of the cancer factors used by different organizations. Here are
some I found: (All of these are for additional fatal cancers
per whole body dose per year in rems)
AFRRI:
0.08%
Text Book of Military
Medicine: 0.012% to 0.03%
EPA: 2%
(That appears to me to be two orders of magnitude higher than other
organizations).
ICRP:
0.05%
In EPA 400-R-92-001, Oct
91, they quote BIER III as 0.03% per Rem.
Did I foul this up or are these people
using random number generators (in addition to using unproven LNT
assumptions)?
