Radiation Hormesis and the Linear-No-Threshold Assumption by Charles L. Sanders
English | 11 Nov. 2009 | ISBN: 3642037194 | 220 Pages | PDF | 11 MB

Current radiation protection standards are based upon the application of the linear no-threshold (LNT) assumption, which considers that even very low doses of ionizing radiation can cause cancer. The radiation hormesis hypothesis, by contrast, proposes that low-dose ionizing radiation is beneficial.
