When the dose of radiation is increased, does the severity of a stochastic effect increase?

What will be an ideal response?


No. The probability of a stochastic effect increases but not its severity. Stochastic effects are based on the probability of an event rather than the severity of the change. An example of a stochastic effect would be the likelihood of developing cancer subsequent to exposure to radiation.
