Why... ah.

"Advocates of abandoning LNT [linear no-threshold] have often asserted that low-dose radiation is harmless or even beneficial, and therefore, that the public health radiation limits should be hugely increased."

This is a Kennedy/Oz thing isn't it. We're going to get carbonated bottled radium water next.

I remember a patient, let's call her Sarah, who was understandably a bit anxious. She was scheduled for a special heart scan, and she’d heard the term ‘radioactive’ being mentioned. #medicalimaging #nuclearmedicine #nuclearpharmacist #pharmacyspecialist #radiationsafety #radioactivedrugs #radiopharmaceuticals

New type of handheld detector for all types of ionizing radiation improves radiation safety

The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that comprehensively detects all types of ionizing radiation. The device can be used by industrial and medical radiation users, regulatory authorities, the nuclear energy industry, first responders and military users. The technology has been patented and is currently being explored for commercialization.

Erm, what? "The UK, France, Russia and North Korea have been on the same side in a UN vote before. In December last year, they were the only four countries to vote against a general assembly resolution aimed at helping radiation victims of nuclear testing and restoring the environment at past test sites."
