"Implications of improved radiation protection standards for Fukushima evacuees"



"Implications of improved radiation protection standards for Fukushima
evacuees"

The American Nuclear Society’s annual meeting for 2012 featured the
President’s Special Session on "Low-Level Radiation & Its Implications
for Fukushima Recovery."  Rod Adams at the ANS Nuclear Cafe discusses
the recent history and current status of radiation protection
regulation, and asks whether Fukushima shows the time is ripe to again
attempt to bring sense and science to a reevaluation of the linear
no-threshold model (LNT) and the sometimes deleterious aspects of
regulations that use LNT as their basis.
