["HPA's view is that (...) it is reasonable to assume that the estimates of risk used for protection purposes are accurate to within a factor of 3 either way for some radionuclides and for external exposure. For certain radionuclides the evidence suggests that the accuracy of risk estimates is likely to be around a factor of 10 either way."]
