Radiation is good for you

The new findings involve old animal experiments conducted on beagles in the 1970s and 1980s by the U.S. Department of Energy, to determine the dangers to nuclear workers of inhaling plutonium alpha particles. As expected, the study back then found that plutonium alpha particles when inhaled led to lung cancers, and the more that was inhaled, the greater the number of cancers.

Recently, the government decided to reassess the old data...
And at this point we can stop. The original study showed that inhaling plutonium leads to cancer. Now all of a sudden, just when GE and the nuclear power industry needs it, a "re-examination" of that data "discovered" that magically, low exposure to radiation can be good for you. And if you believe that I have a glowing Japanese watch to sell you.
