Understanding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA)

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) offers compensation to individuals who suffered health consequences due to government nuclear testing and uranium-related work. However, many impacted communities remain left out of current legislation — and expansion is critical.

Fighting for Fair Recognition and Compensation

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) offers compensation to individuals who suffered health consequences due to government nuclear testing and uranium-related work. However, many impacted communities remain left out of current legislation — and expansion is critical.

For decades, families across the western United States have carried the burden of illnesses caused by radioactive fallout, often without acknowledgment or support. Many were never informed of the risks, leaving generations to face serious health challenges with limited assistance or understanding of their rights.

Expanding RECA would not only provide long-overdue compensation but also bring justice, awareness, and closure to those who have endured the long-term effects of nuclear testing. It represents an important step toward recognizing the sacrifices made by countless individuals and protecting future generations from similar harm.

What is RECA?

Nuclear Testing

Exposure from atmospheric nuclear tests during the 1950s–60s.

Uranium Work

Uranium miners, millers, and transporters who were unknowingly exposed.

Downwind Fallout

Residents in “downwind” areas who inhaled or ingested radioactive fallout

Thousands Still Left Out of RECA’s Protection

Thousands of Americans continue to suffer from radiation-related illnesses.
Expanding RECA would deliver life-changing relief to families who were never informed of their risk.
This legislation is more than compensation — it’s about accountability, justice, and healing.

By broadening coverage and extending deadlines, Congress can finally recognize the communities that have long been overlooked and bring long-awaited support to those still struggling.

Expanding RECA is not just a policy update — it’s a moral responsibility. Every individual and family impacted by radiation exposure deserves acknowledgment, care, and the opportunity to reclaim what was lost.

Many families still don’t realize they qualify — take one minute to find out.
