Note that this view of "cumulative ratiation" is a myth, and a costly one. A recent note on this: http://atomicinsightscom.c.presscdn.com/wp-content/uploads/C...

(there's not only a treshold, there may also be some hormesis, i.e. a slight decline in cancer rate for small doses)

This one page paper with one figure and six data points from an author nobody knows in a journal nobody has heard of is right. The generally accepted models of radiation dose must be thrown out the window.
