Lifetime cancer mortality risk
(after 1000 mSv acute dose)
~ 0.6-1.0%. for leukæmia
and
~4.3–7.2% for all solid cancers combined,
(lower for men than for women)
Lifetime cancer risk estimates for those exposed as children might be a factor of
2 to 3 times higher than the estimates for a population exposed at all ages.
