The American Nuclear Society (ANS) put together this really cool interactive chart so anyone can figure out their personal dosage of radiation per year.-SDF blogger
The average dose per person from all sources is about 620 mrems per year. It is not, however, uncommon for any of us to receive less or more than that in a given year (largely due to medical procedures we may undergo). International Standards allow exposure to as much as 5,000 mrems a year for those who work with and around radioactive material.
