flag Senators reintroduce bill to expand radiation compensation to more nuclear test and uranium mine workers.

flag U.S. senators have reintroduced a bill to renew and expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to cover more individuals affected by radiation from nuclear testing and uranium mining. flag The bill, which has bipartisan support, would extend compensation to new groups, including those exposed to radiation in New Mexico and workers in uranium mines. flag Despite previous Senate approval, the bill has not passed the House, leading to the expiration of the RECA program. flag The new legislation would also fund a study on the ongoing medical needs of affected individuals.
