Goddard's tries to promote that a new study suggests that there may be a super-linear dose response at low doses. From the study itself:
"Importantly, for solid cancers the additive radiation risk (i.e., excess cancer cases per 10^4
person-years per Gy) continues to increase throughout life with a linear dose–response relationship"
What Goddard fails to mention (though it's obvious) is the large errors associated with the low dose range. He then pulls a switcheroo. Remember this video is about this new study. But at about 6:15 until the end, he introduces older studies! Most of the video actually discusses the older studies.
But in the end, he basically drops the super-linear model he first proposed, for LNT.
Why didn't he just discuss LNT and the new study?
Anyway, I'm sure this study will be ignored by the pro-nukes and bantered about by the anti-nukes, just like the opposite is being done with the recent mouse DNA study.
