Research Article Summary • Core thesis:This article argues that it is time to replace the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model with a “Linear Threshold” (LT) model for radiation protection, and that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) should also eliminate the...

Research Article Summary • Central focus:This article explores how radiation dose rate—not just total dose—affects biological response and challenges assumptions of the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) hypothesis, which ignores dose rate in driving risk estimates. • Dose...
