RE: Radiation Hormesis
Radsafers
I can't resist the challenge.
Radiation hormesis is real, but is not the same for all genetic "groups" of
humans. LNT is guarantied to limit the risk to the average person in the
group with the "average DNA".
Since the risk factors we use are for an "average DNA" group of humans, it
is already "factored" in.
I'm copying this to Paul because he taught me everything in know about DNA.
Regards

Subject: Re: Radiation Hormesis
In following this string on "radiation hormesis" it occurs to me that
there must be some radsafers who are reasonably familiar with the scientific
evidence supporting hormesis, but are unconvinced that it is a valid
phenomenon.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what kind, or quality of evidence would
it take to convince you that hormesis is for real and ought to be taken
seriously in formulating radiation policies? Would anyone care to take a
crack at that?
