Big Nuclear’s Big Mistake - Linear No-Threshold

Nuclear is finally looking up from an informal “keep your head down” policy. However, it’s bringing with it a relic – a part of safety culture that is actually too safe to be practical at a time when it seems like a new reactor is being commissioned every day. What the public doesn’t know is that the fundamental assumption of radiation safety and regulation simply isn’t true. This is the case against Linear No-Threshold. SOURCES: Mohan Doss.
