Abstract: The linear non threshold (LNT) model for cancer induced by ionizing radiation is the Foundation and basis of nuclear and radiation protection supervision. However, in recent years, the validity of LNT risk model has been questioned more and more. It is considered that the LNT based regulatory system has brought excessive cost to the society. In this paper, the recent international literature on LNT is studied to explore the development trend and further research direction of LNT, so as to provide reference for the domestic work in related fields.

Key words: radiation, the linear non threshold, challenge, research direction
