The YouTube video is slick but misleading. It repeats a pro-nuclear line that the LNT model is “anti-science,” citing a few industry-aligned papers from niche journals. In reality, large independent studies—INWORKS (BMJ 2015, 2023), the Life Span Study, and BEIR VII—all confirm cancer risk rises linearly even at low doses. Hill is not a radiation biologist. The myth isn’t LNT—it’s that YouTube can overturn seventy years of evidence.
