findings for potential residual beryllium
contamination. Appendix B–3 describes
each facility evaluated for residual
beryllium contamination, the data
reviewed as a part of this evaluation,
and the final findings.
V. Conclusions
The findings of this study are: (1)
Some atomic weapons employer
facilities and beryllium vendor facilities
have the potential for significant
residual radiological and beryllium
contamination outside of the periods in
which weapons-related production
occurred. (2) For the purposes of this
report, NIOSH believes that facilities
having ‘‘significant contamination’’ had
quantities of radioactive material that
‘‘could have caused or substantially
contributed to the cancer of a covered
employee with cancer.’’ (3) The
documents reviewed did not indicate
the existence of a current, unrecognized
occupational or public health threat.

Purpose: The Safety and Occupational
Health Study Section will review, discuss,
and evaluate grant applications received in
response to the Institute’s standard grants
review and funding cycles pertaining to
research issues in occupational safety and
health and allied areas.
It is the intent of NIOSH to support broadbased research endeavors in keeping with the
Institute’s program goals. This will lead to
improved understanding and appreciation for
the magnitude of the aggregate health burden
associated with occupational injuries and
illnesses, as well as to support more focused
research projects, which will lead to
improvements in the delivery of occupational
safety and health services and the prevention
of work-related injury and illness. It is
anticipated that the research funded will
promote these program goals.
Matters to be Discussed: The meeting will
convene an open session from 8–8:30 a.m. on
February 20, 2007, to address matters related
to the conduct of SOHSS business. The
remainder of the meeting will proceed in
closed session. The purpose of the closed
session is for the study section to consider
safety and occupational health-related grant
applications. These portions of the meeting
will be closed to the public in accordance
with provisions set forth in Section
552b(c)(4) and (6), Title 5 U.S.C., and the
Determination of the Director, Management
Analysis and Services Office, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, pursuant to
Section 10(d) Pub. L. 92–463. Agenda items
are subject to change as priorities dictate.
