Too little concern for breast cancer risk in radiation protection estimates?
Risk estimates of radiogenic breast cancer from recent consensus reports are found to depend as much on the models used as on the data. Some features of the models of BEIR V and the ICRP 1990 Recommendations are hardly supported in the literature and tend to underrate breast cancer risk in radioprotection.
