upon request by the Secretary, HHS, advise
the Secretary on whether there is a class of
employees at any Department of Energy
facility who were exposed to radiation but for
whom it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such radiation
doses may have endangered the health of
members of this class.
