TABLE 2.
The amount of radiation/person held constant at a level that results in a calculated 1% increase in cancer frequency (7 J/person or about 0.1 Gy).

*The population size and the total amount of radiation (J) required to detect a change in cancer frequency.
Amount of energy per person and the population size are below the level to detect cancer
*
Cancer is detectable in this range of population, dose, and total energy
