A contribution to the linear no-threshold discussion.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection - 1 Mar 2003

Chadwick K H, Leenhouts H P, Brugmans M J P

Abstract excerpt

The paper approaches the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis, currently used as the basis for recommendations in radiological protection, from the point of view of the radiation mechanism. All considerations of the validity of the LNT hypothesis based on experiment or epidemiology are dismissed because of the impossibility of deriving statistically significant data at very low doses. Instead, the LNT hypothesis...
