The CNSC would not license nuclear activities that are unsafe, and the LNT model provides one way to ensure safety. The model provides an understanding of radiation health risks that allows CNSC and other regulatory bodies to set dose limits and regulations that limit exposure to an acceptable level. Radiation doses at or below these limits are considered "safe" in that there is no direct medical or scientific evidence to show that they cause harm. To protect nuclear workers and members of the public, the CNSC licenses and monitors nuclear activities to control doses.
