(Site Profile/Docket Number 041)
Location: Clearwater, Florida
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 is currently one open/active SEC petition from Pinellas Plant, Petition 256. The Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health has received the SEC Petition Evaluation Report from NIOSH, will review it, and will send its recommendation to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
SEC Petitions Not Qualifying for Evaluation
Seven petitions were received but did not qualify for evaluation because they did not meet the minimum petition requirements.
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 256 (August 1, 1957 through December 31, 1997)

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.

February 28-29, 2008NIOSH staff will be in Pinellas Park, Florida, to meet with former and current Pinellas Plant workers about the SEC Petitioning Process
Time/Location:
Meeting Type: Face-to-Face; Public (Limited)
                    Banquet Masters
                    8100 Park Boulevard North
                    Pinellas Park, Florida
Pre-Decisional Document Policy
Please note that both meetings will be identical in format and information. Holding two meetings provides an opportunity for energy workers and other’s interested in this information to attend whichever meeting is most convenient. Space is limited so please attend only one of the two meetings to allow room for others who may also be interested in attending. Attendance at these meetings is voluntary and will not affect individual claims filed under Parts B or E of EEOICPA.
These meetings are intended to provide basic information on the SEC petition process, and will cover topics such as (1) how to file an SEC petition, (2) who is eligible to file an SEC petition, (3) what steps SEC petitions go through, and (4) background information about the SEC.
**Please note**: that NIOSH representatives at the meeting will not have access to information pertaining to individual dose reconstructions, and will not be equipped to answer such questions while in Pinellas Park.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.

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.
OCAS-PER-0004 Rev-00: Application of Photofluorography at the Pinellas Plant [373 KB (3 pages)]
            February 15, 2005
**About this Document:** Describes the evaluation of the programmatic effect of the discovery of photofluorographic examinations on dose reconstructions for employees of the Pinellas Plant.
**Summary:** Evidence of photofluorography as discovered in a claimant’s medical records from the Pinellas Plant. As a result, photofluorography use at Pinellas Plant is now assumed through 1959. This assumption will not change the likely compensability of any completed dose reconstruction. The relevant ORAU procedure will be modified, and photofluorography use will be assumed in the Pinellas Plant Site Profile.
OCAS-PER-028 Rev-00: Program Evaluation Report: Pinellas TBD Revision [14 KB (1 page)]
            October 30, 2007
**About this Document:** New document to determine which previously completed claims require evaluation for the effect of revising the Pinellas Plant TBD.
**Summary:** There were 24 Pinellas Plant dose reconstructions completed with a probability of causation below 50% between August 3, 2006, and November 8, 2006. NIOSH will review these dose reconstructions to determine if missed photon dose was included when appropriate. NIOSH will provide DOL with the list of 24 claims as well as a determination on each claim as to whether a new Dose Estimate is required. Documentation for each claim not requiring a new dose reconstruction will provide the basis for that determination.
DCAS-PER-079: Pinellas Plant TBD Revision [28 KB (2 pages)]
            October 27, 2020
**About this Document:** Determines the effect of issuing revisions to ORAUT-TKBS-0029 (Pinellas Plant TBD) on previously completed claims.
**Summary:** No claims resulted in a POC greater than 50%. NIOSH will provide the Department of Labor with the list of all the claims evaluated under this PER.Public Comments on Pinellas Plant Documents

Revised February 21, 2012 [380 KB (33 pages)]
**Revision Includes:** With the exception of Section 5.2.2, all plutonium discussions were eliminated from this TBD, discussed at the October 2011 working group meeting for the Pinellas Plant Site Profile. Because internal exposures to plutonium were unlikely at the Pinellas Plant, the plutonium discussions after Section 5.2.2 were determined to be unnecessary and a potential source of confusion. Incorporates formal internal and NIOSH review comments. Constitutes a total rewrite of the document.
Revised April 1, 2011 [339 KB (39 pages)]
**Revision Includes:** Addresses SC&A’s issues with the document, as identified in SCA-TR-TASK1-0015. The changes that potentially affect the assessed doses for workers include: 1) the addition of an approach for assessing potential exposures to insoluble forms of tritium and 2) the modification of some of the default tritium urinalysis MDCs and/or reporting levels. In addition, a number of editorial changes were also made to this document. Incorporates formal internal and NIOSH review comments. Constitutes a total rewrite of the document.
