All dose limits are presently determined by using the Linear No-Threshold dose hypothesis (LNT).
Note that radiation is a genotoxic carcinogen, and lnt applies to all such carcinogens.
When the manifestation is cancer (large case, LNT), the statistical threshold is 10 rem.
The report noted that among utilities, LNT shares displayed both attractive valuation metrics and strong profitability metrics.
Below is a long-term dividend history chart for LNT, which Dividend Channel stressed as being of key importance.
Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of KEP, versus NRG and LNT.
They understand that the historic execution of LNT as a global policy has caused more harm than good.
According to LNT, any and all radiation doses, even background and below, are harmful and linear with dose.
The Stanford academics used the first of those ideas - what's called a Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model.
Other competitors in the utilities sector include: Integrys Energy Group (TEG), ALLETE Inc (ALE), and Alliant Energy (LNT).
The straight-line portion of these types of curves above Earth background has been the basis for the Linear No-Threshold Dose hypothesis, or LNT.
The primary problem with LNT is the incorrect assumption that cytogenic and mutagenic effects at the individual cellular level linearly extrapolate to the organismal level, i.e.
As the author states, LNT may have some statistical validity above some threshold, but there is clearly a threshold below which no link to increased cancer is supportable.
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, LNT makes up 1.31% of the Dynamic Utilities Portfolio ETF ( AMEX: PUI )which is trading lower by about 0.2% on the day Wednesday.

In specific reply to your assertion the author of this piece did not offer any evidence refuting the LNT hypothesis, I disagree, he specifically cited factual, observed experience of no increased cancer risk in areas where normal and persistent background radiation levels are well above levels the LNT hypothesis would assert must have statistically significant higher cancer risk.
