Need latest BEIR factoid



Radsafers:

Back in the 1980 BEIR report, there was a very nice summary sentence that
said something like:

In a population of 1 million, each given 1 rem, there would be an expected
160 - 450 additional cancers.

What is the latest version of this? For those with education
responsibilities, what are you using/doing to describe radiation risks to
students?

Thanks!
Jeff
