Britain’s nuclear test veterans continuing their case in the courts

 our case is still live and on going .We have one case still proceeding to High Court another 1002 not yet statute barred and hearing before a Judge of almost 20 pension appeal cases

A Message from the Nuclear Veterans, Paul Langley’s Nuclear History Blog, Dennis Hayden, 5 April 12, THE DUST HAS SETTLED FOLLOWING THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.  THE UK CASE IS STILL ON GOING & UK MINISTERS’ JOY WILL BE SHORT LIVED    ”…… the Government and nuclear industry will do everything in their power to keep the UK Atomic Veterans Claimants case from a full court hearing on causation . The pro or anti nuclear issue is somewhat
irrelevant because the truth of the science is the only arbiter on
facts of radiation damage to health . Fall out ingested / inhaled
alpha and beta particles into the body causes long term health
problems . Fall out radiation is totally ignored by the political /
science establishment of all nuclear weapons powers , nuclear reactor
users and uranium mining nations and is referred to by the euphemism
“low dose” radiation .

Nuclear test locations in the Pacific and Australia are similar to fall out ‘ exclusion zones’ at Chernobyl , Fukushima and other nuclear reactor accident locations , the truth of the science indicates this and if that is anti – nuclear there isn’t much we can do about it . At nuclear test locations the servicemen deliberately had no protective clothing or respirators, the scientists controlling and monitoring the experiments however did .Inside the exclusion zones around crippled reactors of nuclear accidents such as Fukushima all those working there are fully protected with respirators etc and rightly so .

Our guess is the Government will continue to use legal delaying tactics to prevent the truth of the science of causation being fully debated in an open court and , if faced with the situation where they
are unable to do this, they will perhaps , as a very last resort ,
kick the truth of ingested low level alpha and beta fall out into the
long grass by an out of court settlement before then . We believe this
is the only defence they have to prevent the truth entering the public
domain ….
the case is still on going and causation is yet to be fully debated .

The point the politicians fail to take into account is that our case is still live and on going .We have one case still proceeding to High Court another 1002 not yet statute barred and hearing before a Judge of almost 20 pension appeal cases . Therefore , it will not be
Ministers such as Andrew Robathan MP , who have the last word in
future litigation but the Judges .
