The scientific nature of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model used in the system of radiological protection by Andrzej Wojcik & Friedo Zölzer "attempts to discredit the LNT approach as being non-scientific lack any sound basis, and are in fact counterproductive with respect to the aims of radiological protection, because they preclude any constructive debate."

Is Nuclear Power Bad for the Environment? "According to the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, “For every pound of “enriched” uranium that goes into a nuclear reactor, there are, on average, over 5,000 pounds of radioactive waste…produced in the mining and processing of uranium.” And every pound of spent fuel that comes out of the reactor becomes millions of times more radioactive by the time it is taken out."
