LNT Petition for US Citizens to Sign

Posted on 08:52 by Unknown
Friends, a new petition has been placed on the White House petition website, whose intended purpose is to raise awareness of how damaging the LNT (Linear No Threshold) model of radiation effects is to the accomplishment of ... well... anything useful at all. 

You can check out the petition and sign it here.  You'll need an account to sign it, but that only takes a moment with brief signup and then a confirmation e-mail. 

Let's get rid of this all-too-highly-conservative assumption that cripples our ability to make the greatest possible use of nuclear technology.  We who have been certified to work in radiation environments (and I was for years) know very well that there are NO effects to the body if the exposure is kept within the Federal limits.  We also know that these limits used to be much higher.. and there's no proof that there was any problem back then either.  It's time to get fear out of the equation, and replace it with evidence and knowledge -- and ditching LNT will do just that.
