Description

Carcinogenic risk evaluation after low level radiation dose exposition is based on mathematic modelizations. After describing the debated linear quadratic model, new models are presented followed by emergent ideas and recent decisions of international instances (Warrenton conference) concerning the future of risk evaluation system in radioprotection.
