"...loosening the protections of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model is not supported by current research. Some experts warn that relaxing it could especially place women and children at higher risk of damage from radiation."
Even Katy Huff said so!

Everyone should read more about LNT vs hormesis.

🤨 Hmmm... Trust a social media influencer or the NRC, NCRP, ICRP, EPA, NCI, NIOSH, ACMUI, NAS,...?

A known scientific fact for decades:
"DNA double-strand breaks constitute the most dangerous type of DNA damage induced by ionising radiation (IR)."

Ask your doctor about the risks from exposure to ionizing radiation.
I think we've known for a long time - it's just an inconvenient truth when a country wants nuclear power and weapons.

Alan Blind, former Engineering Director at Palisades: "...Holtec itself can only be 50% confident that the Palisades steam generators will operate for just 18 months without a tube failure."
"...a tube burst at Palisades would result in an environmental release of radioactivity."

"While the U.S. Department of Defense noted that tritium is 'relatively harmless' and that most of it is excreted through urine and sweat, a study published in ACS Chemical Health & Safety found that it can cause 'significant internal radiation damage' if ingested in large doses."

"The question of how the cloves were contaminated is harder to answer. The facility where they were processed is over 400 miles away from the smelter. Yet the radiation levels in the sample tested by the FDA were 10 times higher than those found in the shrimp."

I would beware of comparisons between natural vs man-made ionizing radiation that trivializes exposure to it.
Anyone who wants to reduce their risk of cancer should avoid both kinds.

"Given the current state of the science, the consensus positions of key scientific and governmental bodies, as well as the conservatism and calculational convenience of the LNT assumption, it is unlikely that EPA will modify this approach in the near future."

Make sure to include that, "...girls are 10 times more vulnerable to the exact same radiation exposure, and women are 2 times more vulnerable."

“These findings may have broader implications—as countries think about increasing nuclear power and developing more nuclear weapons, the waste from these entities could have huge impacts on people’s health, even at these lower levels of exposure.”

Paranoid much?
Options:
-No electricity
-Electricity with best solutions
-Electricity with not the best solutions
Nuclear - small risks? No.
