The LNT model is the best we can do--today.

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

Preston R Julian

Abstract excerpt

The form of the dose-response curve for radiation-induced cancers, particularly at low doses, is the subject of an ongoing and spirited debate. The present review describes the current database and basis for establishing a low dose, linear no threshold (LNT) model. The requirement for a dose-response model to be used for risk assessment purposes is that it fits the great majority of data derived from...
