A Failed Ontology: The Linear No-threshold Model of Radiogenic Cancer
A debate within radiation protection science has been building over many years regarding whether low-dose, ionizing radiation (LDIR, in the range of 0 200 mGy) is known to be a carcinogen (1). That debate now approaches a fever pitch, and the time is ripe to assess what is known and how it is known to determine where truth must lie. A philosophy developed over centuries that applies to such an ...
متن کاملIs the Linear No-Threshold Dose-Response Paradigm Still Necessary for the Assessment of Health Effects of Low Dose Radiation?
Inevitable human exposure to ionizing radiation from man-made sources has been increased with the proceeding of human civilization and consequently public concerns focus on the possible risk to human health. Moreover, Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents after the 2011 East-Japan earthquake and tsunami has brought the great fear and anxiety for the exposure of radiation at low levels, even m...
متن کاملLinear No-Threshold Model VS. Radiation Hormesis.
The atomic bomb survivor cancer mortality data have been used in the past to justify the use of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model for estimating the carcinogenic effects of low dose radiation. An analysis of the recently updated atomic bomb survivor cancer mortality dose-response data shows that the data no longer support the LNT model but are consistent with a radiation hormesis model when a...
متن کاملLinear non-threshold: separating facts from fiction.
The Linear Non-Threshold (LNT) process is used by virtually all governmental agencies to compute incidence of cancer as a consequence of exposure to a carcinogen. This comment applies the concept of Best Available Science (BAS) Metrics for Evaluation of Scientific Claims (MESC) derived from BAS to issues related to reliability of LNT hypothesis. This paper identifies the level of maturity of th...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
