I think the J-Value approach is important for guiding policy but bawolff's criticism is valid. The article states: > Sadly, of the 160,000 people evacuated due to radiation fears, there were 1,121 deaths in the first 3 years from physical and mental exhaustion. When the public’s perception of risk is misaligned with official messaging, this logically will increase anxiety levels. Well informed high-trust societies should do best with a transparent and well communicated J-Value based policy. Measuring trust and refining communication practices seem like important aspects of the public response.
