Part E of the EEOICPA (enacted October 28, 2004) compensates DOE contractor and subcontract or employees, eligible survivors of such employees, and uranium miners, millers, and ore transporters as defined by RECA Section 5, for any occupational illnesses that are causally linked to toxic exposures in the DOE or mining work environment.

Atomic Weapons Program
The Manhattan Project was the codename for the American-led effort to develop functional atomic weapons during World War II. The controversial creation and eventual use of the atomic bomb engaged some of the world’s leading scientific minds, as well as the U.S. military (with most of the work done outside of the borough in New York City for which it was originally named).The Manhattan Project was started in response to fears that German scientists had been working on a weapon using nuclear technology since the 1930s, and that Adolf Hitler was prepared to use it. Throughout the United States starting in 1942, a variety of research, testing, and manufacturing facilities were created and utilized for the study, manufacture, and testing of nuclear weapons utilizing uranium enrichment and nuclear chain reactions.
Atomic Workers
Uranium enrichment began in the United States as part of the World War II Manhattan Project to produce nuclear weapons. The first uranium enrichment operations were set up at what is now the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Tennessee) in 1942. In the 1950’s the U.S. government set up two additional enrichment plants, in Paducah, Kentucky and Piketon, Ohio. Over the years, dozens more research and development facilities were opened and operated across the U.S. from Alaska to Massachusetts. For decades, thousands of workers across the United States dedicated their lives to maintaining national security and advancing the science of technology of nuclear energy. Beyond the initial intent of developing nuclear weapons, much of this work became the basis for the development of nuclear reactors, medical imaging systems (MRI machines), and radiation therapies for various forms of cancer.
Atomic Workers Today
Over the years, thousands of DOE workers have been diagnosed with a variety of radiation related illnesses due to their exposure to uranium, beryllium, or silica at DOE Worksites. Many of them suffer from respiratory problems and have been diagnosed with cancer or chronic illnesses attributable to radiation or toxic chemical exposure. At AWA Cares, we have a dedicated staff with several years of EEOICPA experience.
