[ RadSafe ] radiation risk

[Tuttle, William K. (Portland)]

Scientific concerns aside, risk statements for human subjects are to be written at an 8th grade level-i.e. easily understood.  This does not, in my opinion, meet that criteria.

Could I get some comments on this statement?   I don't think this person has both oars in the water.
 
"The evidence for low-level carcinogenicity is virtually non-existent. "
 
Thanks,
