Answer to Question #111396 in Physics for marie

Question

In 2017 the Trump administration unveiled a new standard of “safe” radiation exposure. Previously, all radiation above background levels was considered a hazard, while the new standard says that “radiation safety experts” claim that “exposure of 5-10 rem (50-100 mSv) usually result in no harmful health effects because radiation below these levels is a minor contributor to our overall cancer risk.” Assuming the linear threshold model, what excess chance of getting cancer would a worker have after exposure to 10 rem of radiation?
