			Special Exposure CohortPublic Comments
		
(Site Profile/Docket Number 222)
Location: Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Also Known As: Oak Ridge Area, Oak Ridge Reservation
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
There are currently no open/active SEC petitions from the Clinton Engineer Works.
