answer:
Improving Physician Access in Teaching Hospitals (PATH) Act of 2011 - Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act with respect to distribution of additional resident positions as they affect calculation of payments for direct graduate medical education (DME) costs.

States that, if a hospital's resident level for each of the five most recent cost reporting periods is less than the otherwise applicable resident limit, then the otherwise applicable resident limit shall be reduced by the difference between it and the highest reference resident level for any of those five cost reporting periods. Excepts from this reduction requirement a hospital: (1) located in a rural area with fewer than 250 beds, or (2) that has had in effect a voluntary residency reduction plan.

Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to increase the otherwise applicable resident limit (create additional residency slots) for applicant hospitals according to a specified formula that takes into account the aggregate reduction in limits attributable to this Act.

Expands the primary care bonus to certain underserved specialties, such as psychiatry or neurology.

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a small physician practice residency credit.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Safety for Americans from Nuclear 
Weapons Testing Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) From 1951 until 1992, the United States conducted over 
        900 nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site.
            (2) Of those tests, 100 exploded above ground and 
        approximately one-fourth of those were bigger than the bomb 
        dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.
            (3) The remaining 804 tests were detonated underground, yet 
        many of these tests also released significant amounts of 
        radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. The Shot Baneberry, 
        detonated in 1970, was buried 900 feet below ground but 
        radioactive debris erupted 10,000 feet into the air.
            (4) Public health researchers studied the implications of 
        radiation fallout and weapons testing in 1961 and discovered 
        significant negative health effects.
            (5) These research findings were not released until 1979. 
        In the meantime, American citizens were never warned about the 
        likelihood of contamination in areas downwind of the blasts nor 
        were they alerted to adverse health effects associated with 
        radiation exposure.
            (6) During the 1980s, public pressure forced the Federal 
        Government to address surprisingly high rates of cancer and 
        other illnesses among people exposed to radioactive fallout, 
        commonly known as ``downwinders,'' which led to the passage of 
        the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act in 1990.
            (7) To date, only one comprehensive radiation exposure 
        study of an isotope, iodine-131, has been conducted and 
        released. Iodine-131 is only one of more than 150 radionuclides 
        released by the tests to which the American people were 
        exposed.
            (8) This same radioactive fallout study, conducted by the 
        National Cancer Institute, shows that exposure was not limited 
        to residents of Nevada and Utah. Extensive radiation exposure 
        has been documented in all of the contiguous 48 States, with 
        some counties in the Midwest and the eastern United States 
        receiving more fallout than some areas directly downwind of the 
        Nevada Test Site.
            (9) The United States has engaged in a moratorium on 
        nuclear weapons testing since 1992. However, the United States 
        might in the future decide to resume nuclear weapons testing.
            (10) Before any resumption of nuclear weapons testing, the 
        American public deserves much greater accountability from the 
        Federal Government with respect to the health and safety 
        aspects of nuclear weapons testing.
            (11) Therefore, the Federal Government must ensure public 
        safety in the event of future nuclear weapons tests through a 
        thorough analysis of the environmental effects of testing, 
        public notification, comprehensive and independent test 
        monitoring, and extensive health research efforts.

              ACTIONS RELATING TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTS.

    (a) In General.--Each of the actions described in subsection (b) by 
a Federal agency is deemed to be a major Federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment for which a separate 
detailed environmental impact statement is required under section 
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
4332).
    (b) Actions Described.--The actions referred to in subsection (a) 
are the following:
            (1) Any action having as a purpose the resumption of

            (2) Use of a location other than the Nevada Test Site for 
        testing of a nuclear weapon or nuclear explosive device.
    (c) Included Information.--
            (1) In general.--The head of a Federal agency shall include 
        in the environmental impact statement prepared for an action 
        described in subsection (b) a detailed description of--
                    (A) the possibility of radiation containment 
                failure as a result of the action and the effects of 
                such containment failure; and
                    (B) possible long term effects on the water table 
                from underground radiation leakage resulting from the 
                action.
            (2) Information for categories of weapons.--In the case of 
        an action described in subsection (b) that is expected to 
        result in the testing of more than one nuclear weapon or 
        nuclear explosive device, the description required under 
        paragraph (1) shall be included, separately, with respect to 
        each of the following 3 classes of weapons and devices that 
        might be the subject of such tests:
                    (A) Weapons and devices having a yield of less than 
                15 kilotons.
                    (B) Weapons and devices having a yield of not less 
                than 15 kilotons and not greater than 50 kilotons.

                50 kilotons.
    (d) Availability of Statements.--The head of a Federal agency that 
carries out an action described in subsection (b)--
            (1) shall make publicly available the detailed statement 
        required for the action under section 102(2)(C) of the National 
        Environmental Policy Act of 1969, notwithstanding the existence 
        of a classified annex for the statement; and
            (2) shall submit to the Congress each classified annex to 
        such a statement.
    (e) Existing Statements not Sufficient.--Any statement prepared 
before the date of the enactment of this Act shall not be treated as 
the statement required by section 102(2)(C) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 with respect to an action described in 
subsection (b).

SEC. 4. CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED FOR RESUMPTION OF NUCLEAR 
              WEAPONS TESTING.

        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 
        Government 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.
    (d) 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 
subsection (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.
