- Abstract
And even decisions in the very low dose region should be carefully judged, considering that there might be alternatives to LNT, especially when assuming a threshold. According to the ICRP, the DDREF applies to extrapolation from high to low doses, which is assumed to be linear, as well as to low dose rates. From today's point of view, we do not consider a further lowering of dose limit values to be reasonable and would welcome a corresponding statement from ICRP.
