subject to normal non-radiological occupational hazards, and hence the average risk in the industry will still be above the average for all occupations even with the adoption of our provosed changes. Thus, it would even be reasonable to argue that the risk of radiation induced cancer should be further reduced. Consequently, we see no justification for a higher risk, particularly since the above estimute of the cancer and leukemia risk does not include the additional risk associated with radiation induced genetic damage. of all identificd serious genetic diseases due to 5 rem ser eneracion to a population of 1 million would be between 300 to 7,500 per year at equilibriun. o/ In addition, the BEIR Report estimated that this same exposure at escuilibriun would eventually lead to an increase of between 0.53 and 5% in the ill health of the population. The apsroach for estimating the genetically significant Goss by age 30. (GSD) is to use that exsosure accumulated Tne emisting exposure Limit would allow a worker @xcosed at 5 renfvear from aga 18 to accumulate a dose of GO rom by age 30. Hence, based on the RETR Report estinates
