"Approximately 10,000 people occupied these buildings and received an average radiation dose of 0.4 Sv,
unknowingly, during a 9-20 year period. They did not suffer a higher incidence of cancer mortality, as the LNT
theory would predict. On the contrary, the incidence of cancer deaths in this population was greatly reduced – to
about 3 per cent of the incidence of spontaneous cancer death in the general Taiwan public. In addition, the
incidence of congenital malformations was also reduced – to about 7 per cent of the incidence in the general
public. These observations appear to be compatible with the radiation hormesis model."
