We are making our government recognize the sacrifices they made and the injustice they endure by telling the story of how thousands of military personnel and their families became victims of exposure, the invisible enemy, on the NTTR.
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID
In 2000, Congress enacted the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), providing medical benefits and compensation to eligible workers who became ill from radiation and other toxic exposures associated with the nation's nuclear weapons program.
But many military personnel who served at classified locations faced a different problem: they could not prove where they served.
WHAT REMAINED UNRESOLVED
Classified, restricted, redacted and data-masked service records have made it difficult for some veterans to verify their presence at potentially contaminated locations—and connect their service to exposure-related illnesses when seeking VA benefits.
WHAT HAS CHANGED
The FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) advanced an important part of the solution by improving how toxic-exposure information is documented and incorporated into military health and exposure records, including ILER.
THE GAP THAT REMAINS
Before exposure can be connected to a veteran, the government must first identify who served at affected locations and verify where they served.
That is the critical gap The Invisible Enemy is working to close.
The Injured
Learn about the various illnesses & complications personnel have developed from working at the NTTR.
New Legislation
We’ve already taken the first steps toward new legislation, but we still need your help to go the distance.
Honor The Fallen
We remember all the fallen in their bravery and commitment to service. We honor the sacrifices they made.
