An sound epidemiological study of sufficient size showing a marked decrease in cancer incidence at a dose level above the statistical noise level. The Million Worker Study is currently being conducting, so we'll see what they get.
A sound molecular biology study which demonstrates a mechanism that shows LNT is incorrect. The U.S. DoE Low Dose Radiation Research Program spent over 10 years and $200 million looking for such a mechanism, and could not do so:
Mr. Applebaum,
ReplyDeleteWhat evidence would convince you that LNT is not correct for low doses?

But someone may one day.
