摘要

作为全球辐射安全实践和法规的基础，线性无阈值（LNT）假说对整个社会产生了巨大的影响。这包括我们的司法系统，在这个系统中，有人提起轻率的诉讼，指控疏忽的公司造成辐射诱发的健康影响，使不知情的受害者遭受巨大的经济和身体伤害。通常情况下，尽管缺乏任何支持性的科学依据，这些案件还是会给组织、保险公司和消费者带来巨大的损失。

The Impact of the Linear No-threshold Hypothesis on Litigation.

As the basis of radiation safety practice and regulations worldwide, the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis exerts enormous influence throughout society. This includes our judicial system, where frivolous lawsuits are filed alleging radiation-induced health effects caused by negligent companies who subject unwitting victims to enormous financial and physical harm. Typically, despite the lack of any supporting scientific basis, these cases result in enormous costs to organizations, insurance companies, and consumers.

期刊介绍： Health Physics, first published in 1958, provides the latest research to a wide variety of radiation safety professionals including health physicists, nuclear chemists, medical physicists, and radiation safety officers with interests in nuclear and radiation science. The Journal allows professionals in these and other disciplines in science and engineering to stay on the cutting edge of scientific and technological advances in the field of radiation safety. The Journal publishes original papers, technical notes, articles on advances in practical applications, editorials, and correspondence. Journal articles report on the latest findings in theoretical, practical, and applied disciplines of epidemiology and radiation effects, radiation biology and radiation science, radiation ecology, and related fields.
