GOVERNMENT DENIAL & NEGLIGENCE 

THE NEVADA TEST SITE

Between 1951 and 1992, the DOE and Department of Defense (DoD) continuously deployed military and civilian personnel on the NTS despite the known presence of extreme levels of highly toxic radioactive and chemical materials, as well as their clear and present danger to humans and the environment.

Thousands of people who worked on the NTS were exposed to the invisible enemy. One powerful detonation that created the Sedan Crater exposed an estimated 13 million military personnel and civilians outside the vast Nevada Test and Training Range to toxic nuclear contamination.

The Government Takes Responsibility

On October 30, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Act (EEOICPA) into law. This program provides fair and timely compensation for nuclear weapons workers and others who were exposed to hazardous substances as a result of weapons testing or uranium production, and subsequently contracted certain illnesses.

EEOICPA: A GLARING OMISSION 

However, the EEOICPA applies only to employees of the DOE and its civilian contractors, as well as the survivors of workers who died from their illnesses. 

DoD personnel and their families were specifically excluded from the EEOICPA except for those who witnessed DOE above-ground bomb detonations. 

To this day, DoD personnel not involved in DOE tests have been denied EEOICPA benefits, including free healthcare and fair compensation. These include personnel stationed at the NTTR involved in: 

• Conducting classified scientific research 
• Developing, testing and securing classified aircraft and other technologies 
• Providing operational support
  

Most of these personnel have been excluded for national security reasons. 

• The DoD will not release the names of any personnel stationed on the NTTR.
• Their service records are classified and unavailable to the public or other government agencies, including the Veterans Administration. 
• There is no way to prove they served on the NTTR. 
• There is no way to prove they were exposed to toxic radiation and materials on these sites. 
• They and their families have no way to file an EEOICPA claim and receive the free medical treatment and just compensation they deserve. 

Even though they suffer from or died from a recognized illness caused by their exposure. 

The DoD refuses to acknowledge their presence at these sites let alone their involvement in the top-secret research and Black Operations conducted there. 

In other words, according to the DoD, these personal did not and do not exist.

EEOICPA COMPENSATION TO DATE 

Qualified DOE employees and other civilians who worked on the NTTR have received billions in compensation. 

• An average of $400,000 per individual, in some cases more
• Lifetime medical coverage 
• Many qualified for compensation after serving only 250 days on the NTTR
