- FIGURE 10-5. Estimated excess relative risks per sievert (SV) in
- nuclear industry workers, from a combined US study [ref: 38] (mean
- dose 27 mSv), a combined UK study [ref: 37] (mean dose 56 mSv), and a
- combination [ref: 39] of these two studies and a smaller Canadian
- study. ICRP 60 refers to the risk estimates derived, primarily from
- A-bomb survivors, for low doses and dose rates in ICRP publication no.
- 60 (1991). Bars show 90% confidence limits; for leukemia, as well as
- all other cancers, all 95% confidence limits are consistent with zero
- risk.
