For those interested I found the source, a little long and dry I have only scanned it so far.

Ionising radiation and risk of death from leukaemia and lymphoma in radiation-monitored workers (INWORKS): an international cohort study

"Large study of nuclear workers shows that even tiny doses slightly boost risk of leukemia." - Nature


slightly and significant usually don't go hand in hand; there has to be an insane amount of extremely accurate data over an extremely large period over time to get me to ever buy "slightly".  if you look at the people doing the study it is hard not to come to the conclusion that there people are just grinding that axe in the direction of the outcome they are hoping for.

The first comment in one of the articles posted by you states the study proves Hormesis in it but is ignored by the authors. May give the study but not the conclusion some validity.

Just more Anti-Nuke propaganda. The same journal released the vaccinations cause autism study.....which also turned out to be horsesh*t.

"Immediate reactions to this study:

1. Even by their own statistics, there is no significant Excess Relative Risk of any disease, including chronic myeloid leukemia, any dose less than 50 mGy.

2. Two of the four disease categories studied (non-Hodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma) had ERRs of less than 1, indicating hormesis effect from low doses. Further, since non-Hodgkins lymphoma is the deadliest of the studied diseases, the overall ERR, from all studied diseases, is also less than 1! (ERR=0.78 from my computation).

So this large study indicates hormesis in the data, but the authors do an excellent job of burying the lede."

I read that breathing a mixture of 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen can give you cancer.... as well as ingesting Dihydrogen monoxide.

awl aye no is that every thyme eye axe any professional associated with pathology iffen they wood bee interested in studying my body after death, knowing my career level exposure, the resounding n recurring answer is 'no, you do not and will not have enough  exposure to warrant any study'.

Excessive ingestion may cause drowning.
