The basic premise of the Oakley et al. commentary is that the linear-no-threshold risk model and current radiation exposure guidelines are based on faulty or inadequate science; that low levels of radiation actually offer beneficial health effects (radiation hormesis) rather than posing health risks; and that current guidelines aimed at limiting radiation exposure to levels as low as reasonably achievable should be abandoned. There are several compelling reasons why this commentary lacks credibility.
