Energy Net on 24 May 10"The Labor Department has released more information on toxic substances at many of the government's historic nuclear weapons facilities, and that info is expected to make it easier for sick nuclear workers and their families and advocates to research claims for compensation under EEOICPA (Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act). What's being termed an "enhanced" Site Exposure Matrices website is available by clicking here. The Alliance for Nuclear Worker Advocacy Groups issued a press release saying it was "encouraged" by the release of the exposure data, which has been used to rule on some of the claims under Part E of the program. The group is pushing for an independent oversight board to evaluate the accuracy of aspects of the proram, including the Site Exposure Matrices."
