The Health Physics Society has accepted this for a while  ". . . the Health Physics Society recommends against quantitative estimation of health risks below an individual dose of 50 mSv in one year or a lifetime dose of 100 mSv above that received from natural sources.". There has not been a lot of movement in regulations to reflect this, the EPA and NRC still use the LNT as a conservative model to estimate the relationship of dose to effect. What would happen to cost of operation if it was adopted?
