Media reports of deaths and devastation produced by atomic bombs convinced people around the world that all ionizing radiation is harmful. This concentrated attention on fear of miniscule doses of radiation. Soon the linear no threshold (LNT) paradigm was converted into laws. Scientifically valid information about the health benefits from low dose irradiation was ignored. Here are studies which show increased health in Japanese survivors of atomic bombs. Parameters include decreased mutation, leukemia and solid tissue cancer mortality rates, and increased average lifespan. Each study exhibits a threshold that repudiates the LNT dogma. The average threshold for acute exposures to atomic bombs is about 100 cSv. Conclusions from these studies of atomic bomb survivors are: One burst of low dose irradiation elicits a lifetime of improved health.Improved health from low dose irradiation negates the LNT paradigm.Effective triage should include radiation hormesis for survivor treatment.
媒体对原子弹造成的死亡和破坏的报道使全世界的人相信，所有电离辐射都是有害的。这使得人们对微小剂量辐射的恐惧集中起来。很快，线性无阈值（LNT）范式就被转化为法律。关于低剂量照射带来健康益处的科学有效信息被忽视了。这里有一些研究表明，原子弹的日本幸存者的健康状况有所改善。参数包括降低突变、白血病和实体组织癌症死亡率，以及增加平均寿命。每一项研究都显示出一个拒绝 LNT 教条的阈值。急性暴露于原子弹的平均阈值约为 100 毫希沃特。这些原子弹幸存者研究的结论是：
一次低剂量照射会产生一生的健康改善。
低剂量照射带来的健康改善否定了 LNT 范式。
有效的分诊应包括对幸存者的辐射兴奋治疗。
