- The trouble with the theory that low level radiation is more harmful
- than the official theory is that no-one has been able to find a
- correlation between the natural level of radiation in an area and
- the amount of cancer there or the general length of life. The
- anti-nukes have to make a fancy theory that artificial low-level
- radiation is worse than natural low-level radiation. Fairly recent
- studies were done following the discovery of large amounts of
- natural radon in certain areas of the U.S.
-
- The evidence seems to be that low level radiation is considerably
- less harmful than the linear theory, which is used officially,
- would predict.
