caraher,

Your link above from the National Institutes of Health says precisely what I was saying above:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2663584/

The LNT model was introduced as a concept to facilitate radiation protection (7). But the use of this model led to the claim that even the smallest dose (one electron traversing a cell) may initiate carcinogenesis—for instance, from diagnostic x-ray sources (8,9). This claim is highly hypothetical and has resulted in medical, economic, and other societal harm.

The French Academies report (10) concluded that the LNT model and its use for assessing the risks associated with low doses are not based on scientific evidence.

Thank you for the link.

I'm sorry, but you're contradicting yourself. darkangel218 Dec 2013 #11

That is the claim of the nuclear industry. kristopher Dec 2013 #8

Certainly the argument about what IS / IS NOT LINEAR... PamW Dec 2013 #10

LNT theory is accepted by by everyone except those promoting the nuclear industry. kristopher Dec 2013 #12

The sad thing is that there is an actual intelligent scientific debate to be had about LNT caraher Dec 2013 #19

I think there are two somewhat parallel lines of research here caraher Dec 2013 #22
