With respect to your comment that "low-level exposure to radiation causes a cumulative increase in cancer risk" is an assumption made by the bodies who write the rules about nuclear exposure and safety. That is based on their assumption that the body does not repair damaged DNA, ever. There is actually much more evidence to the contrary that low-level exposure to radiation reduces cancer risk. See "Radiation Hormesis".
