LNT does not assume that there isn’t a repair mechanism. It assumes that the repair mechanism has a constant failure rate. That’s a pretty good match for the primary biological process involved.
It really isn’t a good match. It makes no sense. It does not assume there’s a repair mechanism, as it’s cumulative over a lifetime. If you include a repair mechanism then exposure rate needs to be included, not all time total exposure. We have models that take this into account and are more accurate at pridicting cancer risk.
I don’t know if you even know what you’re talking about if you don’t know this. Even the Wikipedia page for linear no threshold tells you this in the first paragraph.
