RE: Cost of Radiation Exposure

["Lieskovsky, Miro" <MLieskovsky@nbpower.com>]

Another reference:

IAEA Safety Series No. 109, Intervention Criteria in a Nuclear or Radiation
Emergency,(1994), p. 74:  
For highly developed countries ~ $20 000 per man.Sv (saved) with uncertainty
factor of 2, thus $10 000 - $40 000 per man.Sv (saved).
