How do you study the low dose response when the study you are quoting is just extrapolating back from the large doses at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

How can you claim, as you did in your first sentence above; that the results of very high doses at Hiroshima somehow constrains what happens at very low doses where one sees thresholds.

Hiroshima gave a ZERO data at low doses; because the Hiroshima doses were high.

So how can you then logically make the statement in your first sentence above. The scientific fact is you can't; it's unsupportable.

On my side, we have a study from top researchers at a top national lab, which was reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences and found worthy to publish in their Proceedings.

The study I'm referring to has the scientific pedigree as opposed to the "junk science" to which you refer.
