The RESEP (Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program) clinic from St. George Regional Hospital will be holding public informational meetings in several Utah cities and in Nampa, Idaho on January 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st and February 2nd. These meetings are to inform the public about the reinstatement and expansion of the RECA program and what areas now qualify.
Come receive information regarding what new areas now qualify to apply for the RECA compensation as well as the new increased compensation amount. If you have called asking for an application to be sent and they have not been able to call you back, applications will be available. If you are ready to submit your application and would like it reviewed, they will be doing application reviews one hour before the January 29th Salt Lake City meeting and one hour before the Provo and St. George meetings. Unfortunately, if you have already been compensated by the RECA program, the law does not allow you to apply for any additional money. This is a free service.
The term “Downwinder” is used to describe people who were exposed to radioactive fallout in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, Idaho and New Mexico during the nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site. Local residents, and their families, are encouraged to come have their questions answered about the program.
