It would be interesting to compare this harmless exposure to the deadly Kramatorsk exposure. What I'm guessing is that there is a "saturation" of our DNA repair mechanisms with long-term exposures somewhere between 10 and 30 mSv per day. Each daily exposure is much less than the "threshold" of 100 mSv for a single exposure, but like an athlete pushing the limit day after day, our bodies need a few days to recover from each maximum stress. I'm looking for a model which will follow SNT for short exposures, but also explain hormesis and saturation.
SNT's forte is long exposures. SNT will be just as accurate as your non-existent model on the kind of dose rate profiles that will be experienced in a NPP release and have the same policy implications. While you want for this non-existent model which will only be more accurate in contrived laboratory exposures, LNT reigns. First let's kill the lawyers. Secondly, the scientists who won't think like engineers.
