LNT has been utterly discredited, because it makes no sense. It was a mathematical shortcut for regulators that has no relation to reality.

Risk is not proportional to exposure to radiation, any more than risk is proportional to exposure to sunlight or water.

If you work in the field you have to use LNT.

lol So you get as many aspirin deaths from 1200 people eating one aspirin as you do from one person eating 1200 aspirins, or, you get as many deaths from 100 people jumping off a one foot step as yo do from one person jumping off a 100 foot step. Linear as all get-out.

It does make it easier for administration to administrate, though.

State of the art medical science continues to support LNT. The latest BEIR VII builds on past research - all the way back to John Gofman’s pioneering work which demonstrated that there is no safe dose. So the nuclear power industry angrily denies the results of medical science and funds propaganda research to refute the solid science behind LNT. That’s why you may hear of a medical study re Kuala Lumpar (SP?) purporting to prove that concerns about radiation are unfounded. Read up on that fake medical study and discover that it is not legitimate science. There are other false, unscientific “studies” put forth by the nuclear power industry -but solid medical science refutes their propaganda. How inconvenient for them, eh?
