the linear no threshold model is what states that even you know we we know based on all the the data from uh you know from nuclear fallout from Chernobyl from three mile island of course from Hiroshima Nagasaki from the bombs that um at a certain dose exposure there's a certain risk of developing a cancer or any other endpoint whether it be dermatitis or bone marrow suppression there's all all these numbers are well sorted but when you try to extrapolate lower so you take maybe say a dose of say one full sever you know a thousand millisever and you start extrapolating that lower and lower to where you're looking at like 100 or 50 milliseverts the linear model assumes that there's some level of damage even at those lower levels but in reality there's actually a threshold there the the LNT which is linear no threshold has actually been proven to be uh actually erroneous and so at very low doses it's actually been shown that there's almost no incidence of any sort of biological damage
