This quote by Dr. Dale Dewar says it all:
“...‘No immediate danger’ is an easy way for the nuclear industry to duck the long-term effects.'"
Between nuclear accidents, nuclear fallout, intentional nuclear releases from nuclear power plants, overuse of diagnostic x-rays, etc., we humans are wading through a radiation soup.
The rising cancer rates are telling us something.
Humans don't need more radiation, we need less.
The article mentions diagnostic x-rays like CT scans.
Well, CT scans are linked to an increased risk of cancer.
The subtitle on this Wall Street Journal article on CT scans states:
“Study Warns Radiation Dose From Single Test Can Trigger Disease in Some People”
"No immediate danger"

There is obviously a threshold that a human can tolerate as far as radiation exposure.
Good find.
