Even Low-Level Radioactivity Is Damaging, Scientists Conclude (cross-post from LBN)

18. My wording was perhaps a little too strong

But I think we're splitting hairs, unless you're trying to argue that there's something badly wrong with current health physics practice and we have some burning need to expose people to more radiation. FBaggins hits on the real importance below - we can use LNT as a useful upper-limit on the likely risk of low exposure with considerable confidence. That's essentially what I meant when I used the too-strong word "validates."
