This program provides lump-sum compensation and medical benefits to current and former nuclear weapons workers who developed an occupational illness as a result of exposure to toxic substances at a DOE facility. Survivors of qualified workers may also be eligible to receive compensation. Covered illnesses include but are not limited to radiation-induced cancer, chronic beryllium disease, beryllium sensitivity, chronic silicosis, or any illness due to occupational exposure to toxic substances.
