Atomic Worker Advocacy

Atomic Worker Advocacy, based in Lakewood, CO, is dedicated to supporting Department of Energy workers affected by occupational illnesses resulting from their service in nuclear weapons production and testing. Founded on the principles of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), the organization aims to provide assistance and advocacy for those impacted by hazardous exposures to radiation and toxic chemicals during the Cold War era.

Through the EEOICPA, which was enacted to address the unique dangers faced by these workers, Atomic Worker Advocacy seeks to help individuals navigate the complexities of compensation claims and receive the support they deserve. By leveraging over two decades of scientific research, the organization highlights the increased health risks associated with radiation and beryllium exposure, fostering awareness and promoting justice for affected workers.
