I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. NRC is a US government. I said _most countries_ which in fact includes countries other than America. The EU standard is 20mSv. You'll also notice that this NRC listing specifies which workers. For DOE 50 mSv is regulatory limit and 20mSv is administrative control level. Of course, all this also changes based on occupation. I mean astronauts are allowed higher levels and pilots lower. But most countries and (radiation) workers have a 20mSv limit.

I thought it was perhaps appropriate, if we're quantifying US Navy occupational exposure to a US citizen, to compare to US civilian reactor exposure limits. It doesn't seem appropriate to call me "wrong" in this context.

Sure: one needs controls well short of the regulatory limit to keep pretty much everyone short of the limit. Most nuclear medicine workers and reactor workers are well under 2mSv/year in the US. A few outliers end up with lifetime doses of a few hundred mSv.
P.S. Something went wrong here:
> 100mSv is a 0.55% increase in risk. So 50mSv is a 0.055% increase risk
In that you halved the dosage but divided the risk by 10, when saying you were evaluating it under LNT.
