The Use of Effective Dose as a Radiological Protection Quantity


Draft document: The Use of Effective Dose as a Radiological Protection Quantity
Submitted by BOURGUIGNON Michel, IRSN
Commenting as an individual

On page 53 of the document, one can find the

Fig. 5.1. Total lifetime risk of cancer incidence per unit effective dose (cases per 100 per Sv: %/Sv) as a function of age at exposure and sex for a range of x-ray examinations (Table 5.4) and for uniform whole-body exposure of a composite Asian population (Table 2.5).

It would be worth having a similar figure for the caucasian population.
Thanks
