The LNT Report: How Bad Science Made The World Afraid of Nu ar Power

The LNT Report: How the linear no-threshold model of radiation safety made the world afraid of nuclear power.This book is a fascinating detective story, uncovering the bad faith, muddled thinking, and ideological prejudice that led to a false and injurious conclusion: nuclear radiation is risky in any dosage, no matter how low.The truth, finally made clear by many years of careful scientific criticism, is that low doses of radiation are harmless, and even beneficial to health, because of the human body’s natural ability to repair cells damaged by radiation.It follows that fears of the risks of nuclear power have been wildly exaggerated and then irresponsibly hyped. Nuclear energy is not only clean and inexhaustible, its risks are far smaller than the hazards of any alternative-including not just fossil fuels but also ‘renewables’, solar and wind, which turn out to be far more dangerous than people have been led to believe.While radiation can indeed be dangerous at high levels, the issu
