## NUCLEAR TEST PERSONNEL REVIEW (NTPR)

The Nuclear Test Personnel Review (NTPR) program is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that confirms veteran participation in U.S. nuclear tests from 1945 to 1992, and the occupation forces of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.

**Members of this group are sometimes referred to as atomic veterans or atomic vets.**

If the veteran is a confirmed participant of these events, NTPR may provide either an actual or estimated radiation dose received by the veteran. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) will request this information from DTRA during claim reviews as required.

The Secretary of Defense recently established the Atomic Veterans Commemorative Service Medal for the veterans instrumental to the development of our Nation's atomic and nuclear weapons programs. Veterans who previously received the Atomic Veterans Service Certificate will automatically receive this new medal, but other Atomic Veterans or their next-of-kin can apply for the medal here:

### **ATOMIC VETERANS SERVICE CERTIFICATES**

The AVSC is a Secretary of Defense initiative to recognize and honor more than half a million veterans who might have been exposed to radiation during the development of atomic bombs during World War II, the occupation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki immediately after the war, and atmospheric and underground testing of nuclear weapons during the Cold War.

### **VETERANS' ADVISORY BOARD ON DOSE RECONSTRUCTION**

The Veterans’ Advisory Board on Dose Reconstruction (VBDR) was established by the Veterans’ Benefits Act of 2003 to represent the Veterans’ interest, to make sure Veterans' claims are handed correctly, fairly, and as expeditiously as possible, and assist in communicating information on the Dose Reconstruction Program: eligibility, how to apply for a claim, and the description of the program.

### **ENEWETAK ATOLL CLEANUP DOCUMENTS**

TThese documents provide information associated with the Department of Defense's radiological cleanup of Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The combined federal effort cost about $100 million and required an on-atoll task force numbering almost 1,000 people for three years, 1977-1980. The departments of Defense, Energy, and Interior were involved in this project.
