The goal of anti-LNT/ALARA zealots (and their hormesis spawn) is to emit more radioactivity into the environment and to expose more people to more radioactivity for a longer time—full stop. ☢️ #Wackos 🧵
DrCrlsnPEJDFor those in the back. "The NRC evaluates compliance with [ALARA] on the basis of a licensee’s capability to track and, if necessary, reduce exposures, rather than on whether exposures and doses represent an absolute minimum or whether the licensee used all possible methods to reduce exposures."
A science communicator I trust has an explainer on this topic. youtu.be/KT5hYHdelmg?...
Does anyone remember 'Dare to Disagree' from Margaret Heffernan? I feel like it keeps being newly relevant.... youtu.be/PY_kd46RfVE?...

"These data points are all of very high radiation exposures." Fact check: FalseAF "The mean dose in the exposed group in the LSS [Life Span Study] cohort is only 200mSv, with >50% of the exposed individuals in the cohort (26,300 individuals) having doses <50 mSv." www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.... #LNT
“A study with 300,000 workers in the nuclear industry suggests an increased risk of death from cancer” “The analysis shows that prolonged exposure to low doses of radiation can be just as harmful as the same amount received all at once” #LinearNoThreshold #LNT #NoSafeDose
