Rod Adams reports that there is a growing understanding among people who specialize in understanding how ionizing radiation affects human beings that the prevailing no safe dose model that was adopted as the result of a major political struggle during the mid to late 1950s is false and does not represent reality. Responsible people that continue to accept and promote the model despite evidence that it is wrong often justify their actions with a phrase like - at least we are erring in the conservative direction,- but that is a false reassurance.
Continued use of the model as the basis for both regulations and public communication is causing harm in a number of ways. It is time to follow one of the most frequently repeated dictums of the most successful of the nuclear energy pioneers and - do what is right.
An organization of skilled and caring professionals that calls itself SARI (Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information) has decided that it is time to push the officially appointed scientific and regulatory bodies to reevaluate their stubborn acceptance of an old model that has been proven to be both false and damaging to human health.
