One regulation mentioned is “ linear no-threshold standard (LNT) for measuring doses of radiation.”
That’s not a regulation per se, but likely the source of many unnecessary regulations.
- pfdietz 4y agoLNT is a godsend for the nuclear industry. The alternative is not "we don't know, so we'll assume the effect is zero"; it's "we don't know, so we'll assume the effect is the largest not ruled out by evidence." And that would make estimates of the effects of radiation in nuclear accidents far worse.
