If we are to replace the Linear No Threshold theory of radiation harm, we must have a replacement. The purpose of this piece is to present the Sigmoid No Threshold dose-harm model and compare it with LNT. The piece requires a bit of background, at a minimum reading
High doses of radiation kill cells. Low doses of radiation causes DNA damage in cells that survive and can give rise to cancer. The dose-response relationship for cancer risk is supra-linear.
The people you quote make no difference between dose and dose rate as if you were comparing one year of moderate light exposure (stimulating melanin production) to a sunburn.

Radiation (from radiological exams) is the main cause of cancers.

Jack, how would you go about getting SNT into policy? This would have to be adopted at WHO, EPA, and NRC?
Understanding the History of LNT. The 1946 Nobel award, etc. and how the regulation is based on fraudulent research is why another system of radiation regulations is needed. https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6NnKVWzqVW8&data=05%7C01%7Cedwardc%40schoolph.umass.edu%7C22339c389da04f456ba908db2a5f40a3%7C7bd08b0b33954dc194bbd0b2e56a497f%7C0%7C0%7C638150360834476334%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=gMN5A4iOP97vzxItZgWIpXnU2BF0GfYy%2FH4Km7oNQ%2BQ%3D&reserved=0
