Scientists question basic conclusion of A-bomb survivors study
The
latest Life Span Study (LSS-Report 14) of A-bomb survivors by Dr Kotaro
Ozasa, Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF), and others,
published in Radiation Research Journal this year, noted
that the risk of all causes of death among the survivors increased with
radiation dose over the entire range of doses with no threshold
observed. The RERF study supported the Linear No Threshold (LNT) concept
which is basic to radiation protection.
This
means that harmful effects of radiation increase with radiation dose and
even small radiation doses can cause some finite harm. Some scientists
challenge the validity of LNT concept.http://inpowano.blogspot.com/2012/08/scientists-question-basic-conclusion-of.html
