Let's takes a deep dive into the flawed foundations of the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, a theory that has shaped radiation regulations for decades.
We'll unravel the history of "radiophobia" and explore how fear of radiation, scientific ego, and regulatory inertia cemented the LNT model into public policy. The episode touches on the controversial decisions of Nobel laureate Hermann Muller, who may have let ambition and ideology steer his interpretation of radiation science. In visiting the...questionable...handling of contradicting evidence, we see parallels to modern scientific dogma and the need for transparency.
An episode sure to leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about radiation.
