temporary ground sensors, permanent ground sen-
sors, and airborne sensors. 
(2) REAL-TIME MONITORING REQUIRED.—Any 
sensors required by paragraph (1) that operate by 
gathering air particulates shall have real-time moni-
toring capabilities. 
(3) PLACEMENT.—The Administrator of the 
Environmental Protection Agency shall determine 
the locations for the sensors required by paragraph 
(1) in consultation with the Administrator of the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 
the head of any other element of the Federal Gov-
ernment with a suitable monitoring system located 
off the test site, and the head of any other element 
of the Federal Government that the Administrator 
of the Environmental Protection Agency considers 
appropriate. The determinations shall be based on 
proximity to major agricultural zones, population 
centers, public water resources, and areas with high 
levels of fallout from previous tests. 
(e) PUBLIC NOTICE OF MONITORING DATA.—The 
Secretary and the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency each shall ensure that all information 
on radiation obtained through monitoring under sub-
section (a) is made available to the public on the Internet
as soon as available, and in any event not more than 24 
hours after such information is collected. 
(f) FINDING OF RELEASE.—If, in monitoring any 
such test, the head of any element of the Federal Govern-
ment determines that a release of radiation beyond the 
boundaries of the NTS has occurred—
(1) the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency shall immediately submit a report 
to Congress providing notice of that determination; 
(2) the United States shall stop all testing of all 
nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, 
except as otherwise provided in an Act enacted after 
the date of the test; and 
(3) the Attorney General shall carry out a pro-
gram, substantially similar to the program under 
section 4 of the Radiation Exposure Compensation 
Act (42 U.S.C. 2210 note), under which compensa-
tion is provided to individuals adversely affected by 
that release of radiation. 
SEC. 10. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY 
OF RADIATION AND HUMAN HEALTH. 
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—From amounts made avail-
able to carry out this section, the Director of the National 
Institutes of Health shall make a grant to a university 
or a consortium of universities located in the inter-
mountain west region of the United States to establish, 
maintain, and operate a center described in subsection (b), 
to be known as the National Center for the Study of Radi-
ation and Human Health. 
(b) ACTIVITIES.—The activities of the National Cen-
ter for the Study of Radiation and Human Health shall 
include the following: 
(1) Awarding grants to institutions of higher 
education for research on the relationship between 
radiation and human health, including any health ef-
fects or illness related to exposure to particular ra-
dioactive isotopes. 
(2) Studying the relationship between radiation 
and human health, including fallout data collection. 
(3) Coordinating efforts relating to research on 
radiation and human health. 
(4) Collecting, maintaining, and making avail-
able to the public by means of the Internet an ar-
chive of fallout data and human health effects data. 
(c) REPORT.—The National Center for the Study of 
Radiation and Human Health shall submit to Congress, 
and make available to the public, an annual report on the 
activities of the Center.
