Equal Treatment
The 2000 Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Act (EEOICPA) entitled nuclear weapons workers and some Department of Energy and Department of Defense (DoD) personnel to receive free medical treatment and fair financial compensation for specific illnesses they contracted as a result of nuclear weapons production and testing.
The 2000 Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Act (EEOICPA) entitled nuclear weapons workers and some Department of Energy and Department of Defense (DoD) personnel to receive free medical treatment and fair financial compensation for specific illnesses they contracted as a result of nuclear weapons production and testing.
Decades later, Air Force veteran Dave Crete made the connection between the toxic radiation and materials released by nuclear testing on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) and the serious health problems afflicting him, his family and many of his colleagues who also served on the range. Dave presented his research and conclusions to U.S. Representative Mark Amodel of Nevada. Amodel immediately agreed to lead an initiative to write new federal legislation that guarantees medical treatment and financial compensation to all military personnel who suffered illnesses from exposure to toxic radiation and materials released by nuclear testing on the NTTR.
Dave believed all military personnel exposed to these dangers deserved to receive similar EEOICPA benefits. These personnel were not civilian volunteers who chose to work in the nuclear weapons industry. They were assigned by the DoD to work on the Tonopah Test Range, the Nevada Test Site and Groom Lake, all located at what was once the epicenter of nuclear weapons testing in the United States. They were unaware of the invisible enemy hidden in their workplace or the risks to their health and their families.
Amodel has secured co-sponsors for the bill, which already has strong bipartisan support in the House of Representatives.
