“The Energy Employee’s Occupational Illness Program Act (EEOICPA) provides compensation and medical benefits to employees who become ill as a result of working in the Atomics Weapons Industry.  The EEOICPA also offers benefits to their survivors.  

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is covered under the EEOICPA as a DOE Facility from 1950 to present and is designated as a Special Exposure Cohort site from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 1973.

Part B of the EEOICPA provides lump sum benefits up to $150,000 to qualified claimants who are determined to have worked at a covered facility and developed a radiogenic cancer, beryllium disease, or silicosis.  Qualified survivors of these covered deceased workers may also be eligible for compensation. 

Part E of the EEOICPA provides benefits to contractor and subcontractor employees who worked at certain government owned facilities where atomic weapons were produced and developed an occupational illness as a result of exposure to toxic substances. 

If you are unsure whether your condition is covered, please do not hesitate to contact the California Resource Center for assistance at 866-606-6302.  We will gladly assist you in completing the necessary forms and address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the program.  The Resource Center is located at 7027 Dublin Blvd, Suite 150 in Dublin, CA 94568. “

I'm guessing that most people that retired before '73 are dead or near death. So too late. Screwed again !

Also the bar is set so high that, unless you have one of their specified medical problems, you will just spin your wheels providing your medical history and the program’s paid (read owned by the government) medical review staff will not approve your claim.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
