Introduction
On June 26
2015,
the US
Nuclear Regulatory Commissio
n (
NRC
)
stated it
was
seeking
public comments
by September 8,
on
petitions
stating that the Linear No
Threshold theory of radiation’s effects was not a valid basis for setting radiation
standards and that the hormesis model should
be used instead
.
In mor
e detail, t
he
NRC
has received
three
petitions for rulemaking
requesting that
the NRC amend
its “Standards for Protection A
gainst Radiation” regulations and
change the basis of those regulations from the Linear No
-
Threshold (LNT) model of
radiation protect
ion to the hormesis model.
(
See
the
Appendix for details of the
petitions.
)
The LNT model
assume
s that biological damage from radiation is linearly related to
exposure and is always harmful, ie without a threshold.
The hormes
is model
assumes
that exposure
s to low radiation levels
is beneficial and protects the human
body against deleterious effects of high levels of radiation.
The NRC
has stated it
is examining these petitions to determine whether they sho
uld
be considered in rulemaking and is
req
uesting
public comments.
US environmental
groups
are concerned that
, if the NRC agreed wi
th the
petitions, it would introduce
rules to weaken radiation protection standards at US nuclear
facilities
.
On the other
hand,
according to two NRC staffers (Brock and Sher
bini, 2012),
the NRC apparently
pays attention to the evidence
on
risks of low levels of radiation
.
See references at
end.
Comments
on Hormesis
It is true that some cell and animal experiments indicate that if small
amounts of
radiation we
re administered
before later larger amounts, the
damage done is less
than if no previous
small
amount were given.
(The word “tickle” is used in
radiobiology lingo to denote such small amounts.)
On the other hand,
other
cell and
animal studies
using different doses, durat
ions and endpoints
fail to show this effect
,
a
nd there is no human evidence,
ie from epidemiol
og
y
.
But it is true that some
evidence from chemistry
indicates the same effect, a
nd there is some theoretical
support for an adaptiv
e effect in animals and plant
s.
2
H
ormesis advocates
typically
argue that although radiation attacks DN
A and causes
mutations,
DNA repair mechanisms quickly correct these. These mechanisms are
certainly
numerous
and
busy
it is estimated over 15,000 repairs per hour are
carried out
in
each cell
but
from the sheer number of repairs, many misrepairs
occur and
it is the misrepairs that cause the damage.
But even if
the existence of hormesis
were accepted
, the question remains
what
relevance
would
it have for radiation protection?
The
answer
-
as stated
repeatedly
in
officia
l reports by UNSCEAR and BEIR
etc
-
is zero. For example, do we give
tickle
doses to people about to undergo radiation therapy
, or to nuclear workers
?
Of
course, we don’t.
And what about background radiation?
All
of us receive small
tickle
doses of
radiation
about 3 mSv per
year
of which about 1 mSv is from external gamma
radiation
. Do these somehow protect us from
subsequent
radiation?
How would we
notice?
And if it did, so
what?
That is, what relevance would
it have for
radiation
protection
,
eg
setting radiation standards?
The answer is
again
….none.
Indeed, as
we show below,
increasing
evidence exists that
even background radiation
itself
is
harmful.
Comments on LNT
On the other hand, the scientific evidenc
e for the LNT is plentiful, powerful and
persuasive.
It comes from epidemiological s
tudies
,
radiobiological e
vidence
, and
official
reports
.
Let’s examine these in turn.
A. Epidemiological Studies
Does the available epidemiological evidence show risks decli
ning linearly with dose
at low doses? Yes, recent epi
demiology
studies do indeed show this, and the
important new points are that these are (a)
very large
studies with
good confidence
intervals
, and (b) at
very low doses
, even down to background levels. In
other
words, the usual caveats about the validity of the linear shape of the dose response
relationship down to low doses
are
un
justified.
The most recent evidence is from
a particularly powerful study by
Leuraud
et al
(
2015
)
which shows linearly
-
related
risks
down to
very
low levels (average dose rate
=
1.1 mGy per year).
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhae/article/PIIS2352

The main findings
from the
Leuraud
study
are
shown in graph 1
.

Graph 1
Two interesting things about this study are
that
5 of the 13 authors
are
from US
scientific institutes, including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the
National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health,
the
Department of Health and
Human Services, U
niversity of North Carolina, and
Drexel Univer
sity S
chool of
Public Health. Also
that the study was funded by many international agencies,
including the
US Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, US National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health, US Department of Energy,
and the
US
Departme
nt of Health and Human Service.
It is legitimate to ask
whether the NRC is in
contact with these
official US agencies
about
its consultation
.
T
he
Leuraud
et al study is
merely the latest of many
studies
providing
good
evidence
for the LNT model.
Second is the
Zablotska study after Chernobyl
.
Graph 2
below,
reproduced from Zablotska et al
(2012)
, shows statistically signi
ficant risks for all
leukemias and for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in over 110,000 Chernobyl
cleanup workers. It can also be seen that there are 6 data points showing increased
risks below 100 mSv
-
a commonly cited cut
-
off point
.

Graph

th is the meta
-
analysis of 13 E
uropean studies in 9 EU countries on indoor radon
exposure risk
s by Darby et al (2005). This examined lung cancer risks at measured
residential Rn concentrations with over 7,000 cases of lung cancer and 14,000
controls. The action level for indoor radon in most EU countries is 200 Bq per m
3
,
corresponding to about 10
mSv
per year. (This is derived from a UNSCEAR (2000)
reference value of 9 nSv per Bq·h/m
3
. This means that people living 2/3rds of their
time indoors (5,780 h/year) at a Rn concentration of 200 Bq/m
3
would receive an
effective dose of ~10 mSv/year.
Graph 6
reproduced from the study shows elevated
risks at concent
rations well below this level.
The solid line is the a
uthors’ linear fit to
the data.

Graph 6
No evidence below 100 mSv?
It is
necessary at this point to
directly
address
the argument often raised
by hormesis
advocates
that there is little evidence of effects below 100 mSv. This is incorrect.

and the newer evidence
,
as we have just seen
,
clearly shows this
fact
as well
.
B. Radiobiological Evidence
C
urrent radiobiological theory is consistent with a linear dose
-
response relationship
down to
low doses (ie below
~
10 mSv).
The radiobiological rationale for linearity comes from the stochastic
nature of
energy
deposition of ionising radiation. It was explained by 15 of the world’s most eminent
radiation biologists and epid
emiologists in a famous a
rticle
(Brenner et al, 2003) as
follows:
“1. Direct epidemiological evidence demonstrates that an organ dose of 10 mGy of
diagnostic x
-
rays is associated with an increase in cancer risk.
2. At an organ dose of 10 mGy of diagnostic x
-
rays, most irradiated
cell nuclei will be
traversed by one or, at most, a few physically distant electron tracks. Being so
physically distant, it is very unlikely that these few electron tracks could produce
DNA damage in some joint, cooperative way; rather, these electron trac
ks will act
independently to produce stochastic damage and consequent cellular changes.
3. Decreasing the dose, say by a factor of 10, will simply result in proportionately
fewer electron tracks and fewer hit cells. It follows that those fewer cells that
are hit
at the lower dose will be subject to (i) the same types of electron damage and (ii) the
same radiobiological processes as would occur at 10 mGy.
8
4. Thus, decreasing the number of damaged cells by a factor of 10 would be
expected to decrease the bi
ological response by the same factor of 10; i.e., the
response would decrease linearly with decreasing dose. One could not expect
qualitatively different biological processes to be active at, say, 1 mGy that were not
active at 10 mGy, or vice versa. The ar
gument suggests that the risk of most
radiation
-
induced endpoints will decrease linearly, without a threshold, from ~10
mGy down to arbitrarily low doses.”
C. Official Reports
Both
type
s of evidence (epidemiology and radiobiology) have been examined in
4
international official reviews:
UNSCEAR (2008)
,
US NCRP Report No 136 (2001)
,
US BEIR VII (200
6
) and
ICRP 99 (2006)
.
These reports
confirmed the LNT as being
the most prudent assumption for radiation protection purposes.
For example i
n 2006, the chair of
BEIR VII,
Richard R. Monson, associate dean for
professional education and professor of epidemiology, Harvard School of Public
Health, Boston
stated
“The scientific research base shows that there is no threshold
of exposure below which low
levels of ionizi
ng radiation can be demonstrated to be
harmless or beneficial”
.
http://hps.org/documents/BEIRVIIPressRelease.pdf
R
e
cently
,
the
US
-
based scientist Mark Little
and his colleagues (Little et al
, 2
009
)
examined
the
matter
in
considerable
detail. They discussed
(i)
the degree of
curvature in the cancer dose response within the Japanese atomic bomb survivors
and other groups, (ii)
the
consistency of risks between the Japanese and other low
-
dose cohort
s, and (iii)
biologic
al
data on mechanisms.
T
hey concluded linearity was
the best bet
.
Also in 2009, the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s radiation
section reviewed the matter in an influential article (Puskin, 2009). He stated
“Although
re
cent radiobiological findings indicate novel damage and repair
processes at low doses, LNT is supported by data from both epidemiology and
radiobiology. Given the current state of the science, the consensus positions of key
scientific and governmental bodi
es, as well as the conservatism and calculational
convenience of the LNT assumption, it is unlikely that EPA will modify this approach
in the near future”.
The Importance of LNT in Radiation Protection
Regardless of dissenting views on LNT, the reality is
that most
concepts used in
radiation protection today are
fundamentally
based on the LNT theory. For example,
LNT
underpins the concepts of absorbed dose, effective dose, committed dose, and
the use of dose coefficients (ie
Sv per Bq of a radionuclide).
It
also
allows radiation
doses (i) to be averaged within an organ or tissue, (ii) to be added from different
organs, a
nd (iii) to be added over time.
LNT also permits
annual dose limits
;
optimization
-
ie comparison of practices
;
radiation risk assessment at
low and very low doses
;
individual dosimetry with
passive detectors
;
collective dose, and
dose registers over long periods of time.
9
In fact, the LNT underpins all legal regulations in radiation protection
in the US
and
in
the
rest of the
world
. Indeed
,
if
the LNT were not used, it’s hard to imagine our
current radiation protection systems existing at all.
However this statement should
not be misconstrued to mean that the LNT i
s used
just
because it’
s convenient
:
the
LNT is used because the
scientific
eviden
ce for it is
comprehensive, cogent and
compelling
.
Statistical Significance
It is necessary to discuss the vexed issue of statistical signific
ance, as hormesis
advocates (eg
http://atomicinsights.com/leukemia
-
and
-
lymphoma
-
study
-
recently
-
published
-
in
-
lancet
-
being
-
strong
-
challenged
-
by
-
sari/
)
often dismiss studies stating
they show “no significantly” raised risks at low levels, or t
hat excess risks are “not
significant”
at low levels
, or similar phrases
.
Let’s
examine
these phrases because they can mislead readers into incorrectly
thinking that the reported increase is “unimportant” or “irrelevant”. The word
“significant” is a specia
list adjective used in statistical tests to convey the
narrow
meaning that the likelihood of
an observation
being a fluke
is less
than 5%
(assuming
a p = 5% test was used). It does not mean important or relevant.
Secondly, such phrases are often glibly
us
ed
by hormesis advocates without
explaining that the
test level used is
quite
arbitrary. There is no scientific justification
for using a 5%
or any other
test level: it is merely a matter of convenience
.
In other
words, it is quite possible for results whi
ch are “not significant” when a 5% test is
applied, will become “significant” when a 10% test is used. For this reason,
good
epidemiologists
nowadays
have stopped using the words “significant” or
“significance” altogether. Instead they use confidence inter
vals:
hormesis advocates
should follow suit
.
There is a third reason
why
these phrases
shouldn’t be used. S
cientifically
speaking,
it’s bad practice t
o dismiss results (or to imply this) just because
they do not meet
a
statistical test
. This is because the
probability
(ie p value
)
that
an
observ
ed effect
may be
a fluke
is
affected by
both
magnitude of effect
and
size of study
(Whitely and
Ball
, 2002). This means statistical tests must be
cited
with caution
,
as the use of an
arbitrary cut
-
off
point
for stati
stical significance (
often
p = 5%) can lead to incorrectly
accepting the null hypothesis
-
ie
th
at there’
s no
effect
(Sterne and Smith, 2001).
This is called
a type II error
in statistics
, and it
often occurs
in studies due to
low
numbers
1
of observed case
s
(Everett et al, 1998)
rather than lack of effect
.
In other
words,
the
rejection of findings for statistical reasons can often hide real
risks
(
Axelson,
2004
;
Whitley and Ball, 2002)
.
So what
should hormesis advocates
do with
a study having
positive
fin
dings
which
do not meet
their self
-
selected
5%
test? First
of all
, they
should
NOT
reject the
findings
. Instead
they should report
the observed increase and add there’s a greater
than 5% possib
ility this
could
be a
chance
finding
.
And then they should disc
uss
1
It should be borne in mind that low case numbers are not the fault of researchers but
often
due to
the f
act that many conditions are rare (eg child
leukemia) and very large numbers of exposed people
are needed to pick up the few observed cases.
10
whether their interpretation would change if a slightly less strict 10% test were
chosen (as is increasingly used nowadays). And they should discuss
the confidence
interval
so that readers can make up their own minds.
For example, they could say
that t
he relative risk was, say, 1.55 with a 90% confidence interval of 1.01 to 1.98.
This would mean that the observed
relative
risk was 1.55 and that we are 90% sure
that the real value lies between 1.01 and 1.98. The key point is that the loaded words
“signif
icant” or “significance” are
therefore
avoided
.
Conclusion
s
(i) the debate
The validity
or
otherwise
of
LNT and hormesis have been the subject of hundreds of
scientific articles and debates over several decades.
Unfortunately
,
much of the
literature on
hormesis or adaptive response is based on faulty science
or
on
misconceptions
,
or
on
misinterpretations
,
or
on
all three
. Thi
s is particularly the case
with
several
US
and UK
journalists
who write with confidence on how radiation risks
are exaggerated
. T
h
eir
knowledge and experience of radiogenic risks ar
e limited
to
say the least, but
these journalists
,
almost on a weekly basis,
misinform and mis
lead
the public
about
radiation risks
, so
the existence of the US
petitions is per
haps
unsurprising.
However
real scientists are
increasingly
standing up
and opposing the poor science
us
ed
by hormesis advocates.
Very recently,
four
Swiss scientists from the Institute of
Social and Preventive Medicine at the University of Bern; the Swiss Tropical and
Public Health
Institute, Basel and the University of Basel published a study which
revealed that exposure
to high rates of background radiation
resulted in increased
cancer risk
s
to
children
(Spycher et al, 2015).
http:/
/ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1408548/
In reply,
17 scientists
(Siegel et al, 2015)
mostly
from the US
,
some of whom were
members of a hormesis
pressure group
“Scientists for Accurate Radiation
Information”
objected
to these findings
. They
alleged that the
governme
nt
would
have to evacuate children living in higher radiation areas and relocate them to lower
radiation
areas
.
They stated that s
tudies like this should not be taken seriously
without public health policy implications being examined.
(
http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1510111/
)
The Swiss scientists in turn responded (
http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1510111R/
)
that the
proposed evacuation was “nonsensical”
in view of the v
ery low numbers involved
.
In
a spirited rejoinder, t
hey
refuted the poor science cited and
added that
the Scientists
for Accurate Radiation Information
a priori
exclude the possibility that low
-
dose
radiation could increase the risk of cancer. They will t
herefore not accept studies that
challenge their foregone conclusion
.
(ii) the petitions
After
briefly
examining the
three
US
petitions, my conclusion is that
they
do not merit
serious consideration
.
It seems that
the petitioners,
who may
or may not
hav
e axes
to grind about radiation risks, have seized on the possible phen
omenon of hormesis
11
to make ill
-
considered
claims that radiation is protective or
even
good for you.
In
other words
, the petitions appear to be
based on
preconceptions
,
or even ideology
,
rather than the sc
ientific evidence which
points in the opposite direction.
The petitions
should
not be
used
by the
NRC
to justify
weaken
ing
regulatory
standards at US nuclear facilities.
A question remains whether the NRC should have
accepted the petit
ions for review. Presumably the NRC has discretion not to review
or to refer back spurious, mischievous, or ill
-
founded petitions.
T
he NRC should seek guidance from
the
five
US
scientific
agencies
and
Government departments
mentioned above
who
se scientist
s
have published
evidence on the matter.
