Time for a Different Approach for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation by Dr. J. M. Cuttler, P. Eng, Cuttler & Associates, Inc.
The ICRP-2005 recommendations are very similar to its 1990 recommendations. They are still based on the 50-year-old linear no threshold (LNT) hypothesis of radiation carcinogenesis (and congenital malformations), which is contradicted by the science of biology. Generally, living organisms do not respond to ionizing radiation in a linear manner in the range from 1 mGy to more than 300 mGy acute. Their response is bi-phasic. Beneficial health effects are apparent after low doses, and harmful effects are observed after high doses.
