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.
> For DOE 50 mSv is regulatory limit and 20mSv is administrative control level.
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.
