The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

Identifying radiation as cause of a cancer,by means of DNA testing

judge-1DNA Evidence Can Now Prove Link Between Cancers And Fukushima Radiation http://agreenroad.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/dna-evidence-can-now-prove-link-between.html “……….This DNA marker is quite possibly the nuclear industry’s worst nightmare. Any medical professional or lawyer team around the world can now order a DNA test and have the cancer tissue analyzed to see if it was caused by Fukushima or Chernobyl, or Santa Susana, or Three Mile Island radioactive elements, each of which have a unique ‘signature’, just like people have fingerprints.

Obviously, the scientific study above was focused around Chernobyl and thyroid cancers, but the concept is applicable to any nuclear accident, including Fukushima. Quite possibly, the same process could be applied to any tissue sample, from any cancer, in any area of the body. This is definitely on the cutting edge and any lawyer plus DNA expert making a case this way will create history.

If the courts and justices are even handed and really in pursuit of justice, rather than allying themselves with the nuclear industry while dismissing most cases brought by nuclear fallout victims, as has been the case so far, this could spell the end of the nuclear age. Imagine the effect of bringing in ‘fingerprint evidence’ that documents deaths caused DIRECTLY by nuclear accidents….
Lacking a tissue bank, DNA will last practically forever, if you dry the tissue or freeze it. Document the chain of custody from the person who took the sample to the testing person who brings the DNA evidence from the tissue into court.
Quite possibly, a family of a cancer victim can sue for damages many years in the future, if they keep tissue samples of the cancer cells from a family victim. After all, there is no time limit for justice on murder, correct?
Another method that can possibly be used to go after nuclear companies is to ID the chemical signature of the nuclear fuel that they leak, spill or allow to melt down. This would be much the same method that the Coast Guard uses when they go to court to prove that a specific ship spilled oil in a specific spot, despite lack of any witnesses or admission by the ship owners or captain.
The Coast Guard gathers a sample of the ship’s oil, and then matches it chemically to the oil spilled. This is much the same process used in DNA matching of a murderer’s DNA found at a crime scene. In court, this chemical ‘fingerprint’ is admissible as evidence. Why couldn’t this be done with radioactive elements too, as they are also chemicals, just in the metals category?……
