Dilapidations

LNT
Linear Non-Threshold: The hypothetical connection between radiation dose and health effects. The assumption is based on early work on Drosophila and the 1956 Biological Effects of Radiation/Genetics panel. The data was collected at higher doses and the effects extrapolated to low dosage levels with the assumption that there is a straight line connection between the two and the line should cross at zero harm occurring at zero dose. It also assumes that the risk per dose is constant and independent of dose-rate. See Brenner et al PNAS November 25, 2003 vol. 100 no. 24 13761–13766. This hypothesis is the international basis of radiological safety but is now being reexamined by a number of medical academics including Professor Pamela Sykes at Flinders University in Australia and others including a number of research projects funded by the Low Dose Radiation Research Program of the U.S. Department of Energy. LNT is increasingly controversial.
