1.5 EXPERT WITNESS
Since 1997 Chris Busby has been engaged as an expert witness in several cases that relate to
the effects of radioactive pollution on health, in several refugee appeals (Kosovo) based on
Depleted Uranium risks, several trials of activists accused of criminal damage at weapons
establishment and one at the House of Commons (evidence on Depleted Uranium and
other radioactive substances), MoD pension appeals tribunals for the widow of a A-Bomb
test veteran and once in the Connecticut State Court for an appeal against licensing releases
of radioactivity from the Millstone reactor on Long Island Sound. He is currently acting or
has recently acted as expert witness on two cases in the UK involving the health effects of
internal irradiation from Depleted Uranium. One of these is in the Royal Courts of Justice
and also in three cases in the USA. Two of these (against Exxon) have recently been settled.
The third, a landmark case involving childhood cancer near a nuclear plant in Florida is
currently being appealed in the US Supreme Court. He also advised on the case of
Rocketdyne (Boeing) and the Santa Susana Field Laboratory childhood retinoblastoma
cluster in Western Los Angeles which was settled in January 2008 and a TENORM radiation
case involving Ashland Oil in Martha Kentucky, also other TENORM cases in Louisiana.
He is currently also expert witness and advisor on the UK Atomic Test veteran litigation in
the Royal Courts of Justice. He has been active in several test veterans pensions appeals
tribunals gaining reversal in every case of MoD refusals to pay war service pensions in
respect of diseases linked to radiation exposure at the test sites. He testified in 2009 before a
coroners jury in the case of the death of Stuart Dyson arguing that Dyson probably died of
cancer due to his exposure to depleted uranium in the Persian Gulf. Despite opposition from
the MoD the jury unanimously agreed that the uranium exposure was the probable cause of
death. A full list and brief description of the court cases in which Dr Busby has been
retained as an expert witness is given below.
