The anti nuclear lobby believes that the effect increase with low dose as this is the only way they can explain things like the Windscale/Selafield cancer cluster.
I have a set of encylopedia from the early 1920s. Under Cancer it says: "...The theory that the disease is due to a parasite has been the subject of much investigation.. This view was held to be supported by the existence of districts in which cancer is especially prevalent and still more by 'cancer houses' that is, houses in which it was noticed that a sucession of deaths from cancer had occured". The article goes on to discount the parasite/contagion theories by the way.
Clearly cancer clusters existed long before nuclear power, high voltage power lines or mobile phones.
