the maximal amount of radiation that workers can receive in connection with their occupation is strictly regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The limits are 50mSv year−1for the whole body for radiation workers and 50cSv for astronauts (BEIR-VII 2006; CERSSE ...
The calculated internal doses were very low, and below both US occupational standards (50 mSv yr−1) and limits applicable to the general public (1 mSv yr−1). Workers exposed to respirable granite dust concentrations at the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ...
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has suggested making “every reasonable effort to maintain exposures to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical.” This level has been termed as low as reasonably achievable, or ALARA. One of the driving reasons for this recommendation is ...
are considered “future-proof” because their speed can be upgraded simply by swapping out equipment on each end. Socia said most experts think fiber networks could have decades of use. Copper wiring, which currently predominates, has built-in speed limits because signals degrade as they get fast...

regulation based on calculating health effects from collective dose become largely meaningless now. It will need to be completely re-written and practically all conclusions and recommendation will need to be altered or reversed. A huge undertaking I imagine, although this subject is not my speciality...
