In the DOE world, there is politics and there is science. The words "it's 

still unclear whether radioactive particles released underground by 

Cannikin and two smaller nuclear test blasts on the island are leaking" 

typically mean it's been studied and nothing has been detected, therefore 

more study is needed. I often hear HPs say LNT is only of academic 

interest. However, I spend a lot of time dealing with the public perception 

of micro-rem-per-year doses. To paraphrase Dr Seuss: a photon's a photon no 

matter how small.
