compensation for civilians and veterans under three  Statutory programs.   
The 1990
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA, P.L. 101-426) provides lump sum
payments of up to $100,000 to on-site nuclear test participants,   
civilians who lived
downwind from the Nevada  test site ("downwinders"), and uranium Miners,
millers,  and ore   transporters.  Radiation-exposed veterans are     
eligible
for  Disability  compensation    under the 1984  Veterans' Dioxin  and

"A time comes when silence is betrayal.
Even when pressed by the demands of
inner truth, men do not easily assume
the task of opposing their government's
policy, especially in time of war.
Nor does the human spirit move without
  great difficulty against all the apathy
of conformist thought, within one's own
bosom and in the surrounding world."

- Martin Luther King Jr.
