That's pretty fascinating, sounds like there isn't much of an effect from it but it's still incredible to think that these events can leave a mark across the whole planet.

You can likewise tell from the skeleton whether someone was born before or after 1945, since people born before the detonation of the first nuclear weapons will lack traces of the new, short lived...

At least by 1950, anyone on the planet. Hiroshima and Nagasaki aren't the source of most of the radioisotopes, that would be testing. Between 1945 and 1990, around 50 nuclear weapons a year were...

Anyone. There's also a cottage industry of salvaging steel from pre-Atomic ship wrecks because all steel made afterwards has trace levels of radiation. The radiation can throw off tests like MRI's.

But in 2001, the French pharmacologist Philippe Hubert discovered that he could use this signature to date wines without opening the bottles.

Being able to find out something as specific as age without coming in contact with the wine? That truly is awesome!!!
They only found incredibly small trace amounts, and only in wines from a very specific set of years. This certainly doesn't pose any danger to anyone. It's more of a scientific curiosity that they...
They only found incredibly small trace amounts, and only in wines from a very specific set of years. This certainly doesn't pose any danger to anyone. It's more of a scientific curiosity that they can identify specific isotopes from a specific source. I think this article was more about this scientific curiosity than anything about the dangers or other impacts of the Fukashima disaster.
And I mean, that's really pretty cool. We can identify specific atoms and where they came from. It's not often you can do that.

2053 tests total. Mostly the USA and Russia waving their nukes at each other.
