The Biological Effects of Radiation in Space Radiation Effects Stochastic effects: “all or none”, can result from the effect on a single cell, e.g., cancer. Cannot predict effect on an individual basis; must use populations and risk probabilities. Deterministic effects: severity of the effect increases with increasing dose, e.g., cataracts, erythema.
