As a result of an accident at the NPP nuclear power plant, a quantity of radioactive vapor escaped from the facility, and two members of the public were exposed to excessive doses of radiation. According to qualified medical opinion, that exposure will double the chance that these two persons will ultimately develop cancer. However, any cancer that might be caused by this exposure will not be detectable for at least 10 years. If the two exposed persons do develop cancer, it will not be possible to determine whether it was caused by this exposure or would have developed in any event. If the exposed persons assert a claim for damages against NPP shortly after the escape of the radiation, which of the following questions will NOT present a substantial issue?
Will the court recognize that the plaintiffs have suffered a present legal injury? Can the plaintiffs prove the amount of their damages? Can the plaintiffs prove that any harm they may suffer was caused by this exposure? Can the plaintiffs prevail without presenting evidence of specific negligence on the part of NPP
