New Classes of Nuclear Weapons Workers Added to Cohort

Former nuclear weapons workers in Tennessee, Texas and Massachusetts are being notified about three new classes of employees being added to the Special Exposure Cohort of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. The department's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs is notifying former employees of Clarksville Modification Center in Clarksville, Tenn.; Medina Modification Center in San Antonio, Texas; and Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center in Winchester, Mass. Workers included in a designated class, and diagnosed with one of 22 specified cancers, may receive a presumption of causation under the EEOICPA. To date, the department has paid more than $8.6 billion to eligible workers nationwide.
