Report: Japan kept secret about scary nuclear scenario

[FSSF]

18. I have no idea what the first bit is even referring to.

So I'll Ignore it.

As far as you second point I've never stipulated otherwise, of course this is irrelevant. It varies significantly from location to location and from person to person, and has no bearing on whether a slight increase in exposure to radiation over a large population would cause increased mortality, no matter the source (medical, background, nuclear accident etc).

That comes down to no-threshold vs threshold. The lack of a threshold is the health standard and generally agreed upon - it's the one with the most evidence.
