Assume a lifetime excess relative risk of dying from
radiation-induced cancer is 5% per Sv and the natural /baseline
rate of cancer mortality in the general population is 23%. 10,000
people are exposed to 50 mSv/year for 5 years. What is the
estimated hypothetical % increased risk of cancer death from this
exposure and what is the total % of risk?
