Low level radiation is beneficial. It stimulates cellular repair mechanisms which prevent cancer.
Ridiculous.
Low level radiation causes cancer. You can check this information against state-of-the-art medical science (I recommend BEIR VII) or the fact that you have to sign a medical release in order to get dental xrays in order to acknowledge that you understand that slight exposure increases risk of cancer slightly. There is no evidence that these people had cancer that needed to any intervention. Their exposure contributed to their lifetime levels which accumulate and therefore exposure pushed them that much closer to accumulating an higher lifetime dose (i.e., increased their chances of developing cancer).They are eating, drinking and breathing (living) in a an environment heavily contaminated (the “dosing” continues).
These people signed no consent form permitting the government to irradiate them. Cutting edge medical science indicates low level irradiation causes cancer.
The government is hard at work under reporting their exposure so it’s probably not a low dose to begin with. No one has delivered a measured “dose” to these people - they were simply subjected to it and it defeats the usefulness of scientific treatment to lie about their dose. Under reporting their dose means that they, as employees of a nuke plant, will be cleared to accept more radiation than the company policies indicate before they are excused from working (yearly dose). There is no indication that their exposures were considered “low” to begin with - they are nuke workers at a nuclear disaster. Your response is absolutely pathetic.
