Intermountain Downwinders Clinic Holding Public Meetings In Utah & Idaho To Discuss Reauthorization & Expansion Of Program
The RESEP (Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program) clinic at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital will be holding public informational meetings in several Utah cities on October 13, 16, 17, and 18, 2025.
These meetings are to inform the public about the reinstatement and expansion of the RECA program and what areas now qualify.
The public is invited to attend abd receive information regarding what new areas now qualify to apply for the RECA compensation as well as the new increased compensation amount.
If people have called asking for an application to be sent and they have not been able to call you back, applications will be available.
Unfortunately, for those who have already been compensated by the RECA program, the law does not allow them to apply for any additional money.
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.
