Bernard Leonard Cohen (June 14, 1924 – March 17, 2012) was born in Pittsburgh, and was Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Pittsburgh.
Professor Cohen was a staunch opponent of the so-called Linear no-threshold model (LNT) which postulates there exists no safe threshold for radiation exposure.
His view, considered in the 1980s and 1990s a self-marginalizing posture, had gained, within 20 years, support from a strong minority.
He died in March 2012.
