The linear no-threshold model in radiation protection—the view of the German Federal Office for radiation protection Open
Does ionising radiation increase the risk of cancer even at low doses? If so, what is the magnitude of risk at these low doses? This knowledge is a central component of radiation protection. In general, radiation protection relies on the l…
