We accept occupational risks all the time. Here, the threshold for radiation workers allows a dose half of what has been ever linked to any amount of cancer.

We accept occupational risks all the time. Here, the threshold for radiation workers allows a dose half of what has been ever linked to any amount of cancer. The overall average, across all industries, fatal work injury risk is something like 35 per 1,000,000 worker-years. Compare to this, where the risk to radiation workers from radiation, if they receive the highest allowed dose (and basically no one does) can be confidently bounded to be well under 1 per 1,000,000 worker-years. (And, if it should ever happen, is likely to be far in the future and cost less life expectancy as a result).
