The LNT model provides the best approach for practical implementation of radiation protection

Health Physics, Gartnavel Royal Hospital, Glasgow G12 OXH, UK

Abstract

This contribution argues the case that, at the present time, the linear-no-threshold (LNT) model provides the only rational framework on which practical radiation protection can be organized. Political, practical and healthcare difficulties with attempting to introduce an alternative approach, e.g. a threshold model, are discussed.
