Mark Nelson cryptically mentioned to me that he thinks LNT will win, I wonder if it was based on this Commentary 27

My most probable hope for fusion is that routine relatively high tritium releases are unavoidable for normal operation, and suddenly there will be a strong new political interest to desanctify LNT

If LNT is not dethroned, nuclear will never achieve its promethean promise. But we must go on the offense. Politely shove the dial painter data in their face, and ask them to explain it. Then go thru the Green Table. Then explain why LNT is so wrong. Then give them a model that accepts the no threshold dogma.

You should mention exposure to X-rays, and in particular mammography, the results of which are quite clear.
