Secretary, HHS, advising 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.

conference call includes: NIOSH 10-Year
Review of its Division of Compensation
Analysis and Support (DCAS) Program;
Subcommittee and Work Group Updates;
