            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.

(Site Profile/Docket Number 050)
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
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 Kansas City Plant.
Classes Not Added to the SEC
All employees who worked in any area of the Kansas City Plant site in Kansas City, Missouri, from January 1, 1949, through December 31, 1993.
**Note:** This class was established from Petition 210Petitions 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.

**Job Titles and/or Job Duties:** All employees who worked in any area of the Kansas City Plant site in Kansas City, MO
**Period of Employment:** January 1, 1949 through December 31, 1993
**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.

                    June 3, 2014Pre-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.

            ORAUT-TKBS-0031 Rev. 01
            January 6, 2017
**Revision Includes:** Revision initiated to incorporate changes to include information from the SEC-0210 Petition Evaluation Report and updated medical X-ray organ dose determination using guidance in ORAUT-OTIB-0006. Affected all sections. Expanded on the Machining Area operations, ThO2 powder sources, and to expand on Mg-Th operational periods. Incorporates formal internal and NIOSH review comments.Advisory Board and NIOSH Discussions on Kansas City Plant
The Kansas City Plant 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 has been cleared for distribution.

Site Profile:
Revised January 6, 2006 [2.3 MB (46 pages)]
**Page Change Revision Includes:** Incorporates changes for environmental ambient external and internal doses for unmonitored, non-radiological workers as a result of formal internal review and informal OCAS comments. Page change includes new content added to pages 7 and 22 (Sections 1.0 and 5.1.4). Removed definition of unmonitored worker on page 26 (Section 6.4.1). Minor revisions were made to pages 17, 18, 19, and 23 (Sections 4.0, 5.0, 5.1.2, 5.2 and 6.2.1). As a result of NIOSH formal review, incorporates Attachment A on pages 43 – 46, into Site Profile. This attachment describes technical basis of ambient environmental dose estimate for unmonitored workers. No sections were omitted.
