http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert#Dose_examples

Elevated limit for workers during Fukushima emergency: 250 mSv/year

Criterion for relocation after Chernobyl disaster: 350 mSv/lifetime

In most countries the current maximum permissible dose to radiation workers is 20 mSv per year averaged over five years, with a maximum of 50 mSv in any one year. This is over and above background exposure, and excludes medical exposure.

Public dose limits for exposure from uranium mining or nuclear plants are usually set at 1 mSv/yr above background.
