Quantification of stochastic effects: can we be too exact?

Original language description

There is little doubt that exposure to ionising radiation results in a certain health detriment. Usually, in normal situations, the exposure is so low that no clinically observable effects are recognised. In this case, only stochastic or late effects, especially cancer, may occur with a probability proportional to the exposure above the natural radiation background. Controversies in quantifying stochastic effects of ionising radiation are discussed.
