40. A cumulative dose of 100mSv would lead to 9.7% increased mortality from cancers excluding leukaemia. The corresponding figure is 19% for mortality from leukaemia excluding CLL. 1-2% of deaths from cancer among workers in this cohort may be attributable to radiation.
42. Because of the uncertainty on health effects at low doses, the Commission judges that it is not appropriate , for the purposes of public health planning, to calculate the hypothetical number of cases of cancer or heritable disease that might be associated with very small radiation doses received by large numbers of people over very long periods of time .

The commission recognizes that these biological factors, together with possible tumor-promoting effects of protracted irradiation, and immunological phenomena, may influence radiation cancer risk, but current uncertainties on their mechanisms and tumorigenic consequences of the above processes are too great for the development of practical judgments.

Editor's Notes
Irradiation set up for shielded irradiation. (A) Neonatal Ptch1+/− and Ptch1+/+ mice placed in polystyrene boxes were irradiated with heads and upper body shielded by individual custom-built lead cylinders. (B) Demarcation between exposed and shielded regions at P10 due to hair-growth delay in exposed skin. (C) Characteristics of the lead shields.
Radiation damage by expected scatter dose in exposed vs. bystander EGL. (A and B) γ-H2AX positivity in the outer EGL of SH-8.3 Gy mice at 6h postirradiation compared with undetectable staining after exposure to the scatter dose (0.1 Gy). (D and E) Increased apoptosis in EGL of SH-8.3Gy mice at 6 h postirradiation compared with very rare apoptosis after a 0.1 Gy dose. (C and F) Percentage of γ-H2AX-positive and apoptotic cells in cerebellum at 3, 4.5, 6, and 18 h post-8.3-Gy (SH) and 0.1 Gy (WB) irradiation. *, P = 0.0139; **, P = 0.0015; ***, P = 0.0001.
