That chart doesn’t distinguish between ionizing radiation such as an x-ray or beta particle, and radioactive material which one may breath and then have sitting in your tissues emitting for the rest of one’s life. The difference is enormous. I have no problem with one-off exposure to ionizing radiation, instead it is fallout from Fukushima etc which accumulates in the food chain, e.g. fish, and finds its way into our bodies, permanently, that worries me.
