(Site Profile/Docket Number 140)
Location: Granite City, Illinois
Also known as: Old Betatron Building, General Steel Castings, Granite City Steel, National Steel Company
Special Exposure Cohort Petition Information
The Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) is a unique category of employees established by The Act (42 CFR Part 83). Claims compensated under the SEC do not have to go through the dose reconstruction process. To qualify for compensation under the SEC, a covered employee must meet specific requirements (e.g., must have at least one of 22 “specified cancers,” and have worked for a specified time period at one of the SEC sites). Classes of employees and work sites can be considered for addition to the SEC through a NIOSH petition process. More information about the Special Exposure Cohort can be found on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Open/Active SEC Petitions
To date, there are no open/active SEC petitions from General Steel Industries (GSI).
Classes Not Added to the SEC
All individuals who worked in any location at the General Steel Industries site, located at 1417 State Street, Granite City, Illinois, from January 1, 1953, through June 30, 1966, and/or during the residual radiation period from July 1, 1966, through December 31, 1992
**Note:** This class was established from Petition 105
Petitions Qualified for Evaluation
Below is a list of the petitions that qualified for evaluation. Select a petition on the list to view the table for that particular petition.

	Petition 105
Steps in Petition Process:
Petition Details:Date Received
February 25, 2008Date Qualified for Evaluation
May 5, 2008Summary of Information in Petition
**Job Titles and/or Job Duties:** All individuals who worked in any location
**Period of Employment:** January 1, 1953 through December 31, 1966, and/or during the residual contamination period from January 1, 1967 through December 31, 1992
**Note:** The information above is what qualified for evaluation. During our evaluation of whether dose reconstructions can adequately be completed for the above job titles and period of employment, information may cause NIOSH to change some the dates or job titles/duties. Therefore, as this petition proceeds through the SEC petition process and if an SEC class is proposed, the proposed class may not exactly match the above information.Copy of the Petition Received

Worker Outreach Activities
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
Below are the Worker Outreach Activities for AWE Site Wide Documents:

Transcript [707 KB (340 pages)]Pre-Decisional Document Policy
Please note that as part of the procedures and processes of the Advisory Board’s Work Groups, several kinds of pre-decisional documents may be developed. These pre-decisional documents, such as white papers, matrices, working drafts, etc., are distributed among Work Group members as research and background tools to facilitate discussion and deliberation. Although discussion during a public meeting may cover pre-decisional documents, these documents often are not further revised or finalized, and thus do not reflect the final determination or evaluation of the Advisory Board and its Work Groups. Additionally, some pre-decisional documents not otherwise posted on the website may contain sensitive information, which would require an interested party to obtain such documents by filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the CDC/ATSDR FOIA office at foiarequests@cdc.gov.
Technical Documents
If the energy employee’s personal radiation information is incomplete, NIOSH will use other sources to estimate the radiation dose. This may involve using technical documents called Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins.
Site Profile
Site Profile for Atomic Weapons Employers that Worked Uranium Metals, Rev. 1 [926 KB (42 pages)]
Revised June 17, 2011
Previously titled “Site Profile for Atomic Weapons Employers that Worked Uranium and Thorium Metals”
**Revision Includes:** Incorporates review comments. Added external beta dose from surface contamination. Expanded discussion in section 3.3.1. Additional editorial changes and typographical error corrections.
**About this Document:** This document provides an exposure matrix for workers at AWE facilities that performed metal-working operations with uranium metal. Over 110 facilities performed these operations, and this document intends to provide guidance for dose reconstruction at any of these facilities. The main body of this document, in Sections 2-6, includes general discussions of operations and exposure conditions at these facilities. Following the main body of this document is a collection of appendices, with one appendix for each AWE site that performed metal-working operations. Each appendix contains site-specific information that can be used for dose reconstruction. For those sites where this information is insufficient or totally lacking, the dose reconstructor must use information in the main body of the Site Profile.
Appendices:
Appendix BB — General Steel Industries, Rev. 3 [826 KB (42 pages)]
                    February 9, 2017
**Revision Includes:** Revises footnote to Table 8 and 9 to remove “<” symbol. Revises values in last three rows of Table 9. Revises paragraph after Table 9 to resolve issues raised by the Advisory Board on Radiation Worker Health in the review of revision 2.
Technical Basis Documents

Advisory Board and NIOSH Discussions on General Steel Industries (GSI)
The General Steel Industries (GSI) discussion papers listed below are working documents prepared by NIOSH or its contractor for use in discussions with the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health or its Working Groups or Subcommittees. Draft, preliminary, interim, and white paper documents are not final NIOSH or Advisory Board (or their technical support and review contractors) positions unless specifically marked as such. These documents represent preliminary positions taken on technical issues prepared by NIOSH or its contractor.
The discussion papers have been reviewed to identify and redact any information that is protected by the Privacy Act 5 USC §552a and have been cleared for distribution.

            October 9, 2007Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs) and Program Evaluation Reports (PERs)
NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER). The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears that the new information may result in an increase in dose for a completed dose reconstruction with a probability of causation of less than 50%, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific program details or issues.
DCAS-PER-80: General Steel Industries (GSI) Program Evaluation Report, Rev. 0 [50 KB (2 pages)]
            August 30, 2017
**About this Document:** New document to determine the effect of revision 2 and 3 to Battelle-TBD-6000 Appendix BB (General Steel Industries) on previously completed claims.
**Summary:** NIOSH will provide the Department of Labor with the list of all the claims evaluated under this PER. Further, NIOSH will request the return of the 6 claims that would now result in a probability of causation greater than 50%.
DCAS-PER-057, Rev. 0: General Steel Industries (GSI) [ 23 KB (2 pages)]
            March 11, 2015
**About this Document:** Determines the effect of Revision 1 to the GSI Appendix on previously completed claims.
**Summary:** NIOSH will provide the Department of Labor with the list of all the claims evaluated under this PER. Further, NIOSH will request the return of the 100 claims that would now result in a probability of causation greater than 50%.
OCAS-PER-0024 Rev-00: Program Evaluation Report: General Steel Industries TBD Approval [14 KB (1 page)]
            September 25, 2007
**About this Document:** New document to determine which previously completed claims require evaluation for the effect of approving a GSI TBD.
**Summary:** There were 4 General Steel Industries claims completed with a probability of causation below 50% prior to the approval of the TBD. These were completed using ORAUT-OTIB-0004. Since the new document describes a higher dose for some of the dose estimate, it is necessary to revise these dose estimates to determine the effect. NIOSH is requesting that these claims be returned for a new dose estimate. A new dose reconstruction will be completed for each of the claims using the latest revision to the General Steel Industries TBD.Public Comments on General Steel Industries (GSI) Documents

NIOSH/DCAS: Site Profile for Atomic Weapons Employers that Worked Uranium and Thorium Metals*Now called “Site Profile for Atomic Weapons Employers that Worked Uranium Metals”*
            December 13, 2006
**About this Document:** This document provides an exposure matrix for workers at AWE facilities that performed metal-working operations with uranium metal. Over 110 facilities performed these operations, and this document intends to provide guidance for dose reconstruction at any of these facilities. The main body of this document, in Sections 2-6, includes general discussions of operations and exposure conditions at these facilities. Following the main body of this document is a collection of appendices, with one appendix for each AWE site that performed metal-working operations. Each appendix contains site-specific information that can be used for dose reconstruction. For those sites where this information is insufficient or totally lacking, the dose reconstructor must use information in the main body of the Site Profile.Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) Petition
