Calculated Risks: How Radiation Rules Manned Mars Exploration
Ok, the ONLY number given was 30mSv (30Rem) for the trip to Mars. Big whoop. My lifetime exposure is 32mSv (32Rem). Another 30 Rem over the space of a year or so? Big deal.
These are NOT Acute exposures, but Chronic. The only, and I mean ONLY effect is an increase in the risk of cancer.
My lifetime exposure has raised my chance of cancer from 25% to about 28%. Big Deal.
