My friend who's an astrophysicist said he's allowed about 1/100 of that per year. My friend who's a nuclear propulsion tech in the Navy said they all wear radiation badges, and you get in trouble if you get more rads than you should. I just knew when I was six that hiding under my desk would not keep me from being incinerated if they nuked NYC. But, yea, cancer isn't the big scary monster we used to think it was; we now know what to do about it.
