            Cybersecurity Modernization Initiative
                We are taking steps to continue to modernize and secure our data, applications, and systems. We completed the first phase and restored many of the functions put on pause in May 2021. Now that the first phase is complete, work will resume at a slower pace but will speed up as new systems and applications are brought online. For more information and updates, please visit our Cybersecurity Modernization Initiative web page.

Dose Reconstruction Program VideoView Transcript Low Resolution Video
We developed a 15 minute video to educate energy workers, their survivors, and authorized representatives about dose reconstruction and the overall dose reconstruction program. It provides answers to the most frequently asked questions that we receive from claimants, as well as general information about the claims process.
The video is intended to provide a basic understanding of this complex, scientific program to those who have a claim undergoing dose reconstruction. After watching the video, we hope the audience has a better understanding of dose reconstruction and the dose reconstruction process, and recognizes that the NIOSH dose reconstruction program is grounded in sound, scientific methods that give the benefit of the doubt to the worker whenever possible.
