Can 61,000 X-Rays in one year cause colon cancer?

[CracknHack]

Why did he receive

"NIOSH reconstruction radiation" to his colon ?

What does that mean?

[148mSv]

NIOSH reconstructs the radiation doses received by workers at various Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE contractor facilities. This process involves personal interviews with the claimants, retrieval and validation of individual monitoring data, documentation of exposure conditions in site profile documents, and preparation of individual dose reconstruction reports

[CracknHack]

Now I understand.

Unfortunately radiation damage cannot be 100%

linked to received dose, there are some people who get cancer without beeing exposed to high radiation, others who were exposed do not have any symptoms. The expert consultants will have to calculate a probability based on large scale statistics of low to medium radiation effects.

8 rems in 14 years is not really much.

Why did he get 7 rems in the first year?

That must be clarified.

[148mSv]

He was the lead engineer who conducted approximately 80%+/- of field work, including identifying existing reusable equipment (model and serial numbers), obtaining field tie-in points and field measurements, in a highly radioactive environment in the first year for a very rush project. That is why NIOSH assigned 6.99 rems for the first year.

Yes it can
