Radiologic imaging is claimed to carry an iatrogenic risk of cancer, based on an uninformed
commitment to the 70-y-old linear no-threshold hypothesis (LNTH). Credible evidence of …

A debate exists within the medical community on whether the linear no-threshold model of
ionizing radiation exposure accurately predicts the subsequent incidence of radiogenic cancer…

This paper examines the birthing process of the linear no-threshold model with respect to
genetic effects and carcinogenesis. This model was conceived> 70 years ago but still remains …

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model for low-dose, radiogenic cancer has been a fixture of
radiation protection and regulatory requirements for decades, but its validity has long been …

We read with interest the article by Axelsson et al.[1] about the potential risk of lung cancer
due to inhalation of radioactive radon gas. Indeed, this has been the subject of many scientific …

REPLY: We thank Duncan et al.(1) for their interest in and response to our article (2). However,
they charge that we misunderstand the consequences of radiation-induced DNA double-…

The American public knows little about radiation exposures from either the commercial
nuclear fuel cycle or non-nuclear (conventional) industries. Yet, many oppose commercial …

During the latter twentieth century, the public learned to fear perceived threats from
emerging technologies. Concern about ionizing radiation became a persistent fear, causing …

The debate over a large expansion of commercial nuclear energy for electricity production
in the US, termed a “nuclear renaissance,” has most recently focused on the issues of spent …

Scientific achievement has a muddled, disordered topography, with landscapes that include
both great pinnacles of success and deep crevices of failure. We focus on one failure that …
