Get rid of the LNT model for low-dose radiation protection, says Public Health Service radiation safety expert
More than one thousand people died from low-dose radiation panic at Fukushima — thanks to the LNT hypothesis adopted via scientific misconduct.
Calabrese: Was Muller’s 1946 Nobel Prize research for radiation-induced gene mutations peer reviewed?
A new paper from the great Ed Calabrese. Hermann Muller’s scientific misconduct continues to plague us today via regulatory actions and rules based on the linear no-threshold model of carcinogenesis.
From Muller to Mechanism: How the LNT Model Became the Default Model for Cancer Risk Assessment
New from the great Ed Calabrese…. “The present paper reveals Muller did not discover what he claimed…”
Calabrese: Obituary Notice — LNT dead at 89 years, a life in the spotlight
The LNT model was born in fraud, caused great harm, during its lifetime and will die in ignominy. We will bury it via the opportunity provided by the Trump EPA science transparency initiative.
