For decades, hardworking men and women risked their lives in uranium mines across the American West. Many suffered serious illnesses due to radiation exposure — often without the protection or compensation they deserved.

The Big Beautiful Bill, recently signed into law, expands the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), making thousands of new uranium miners, millers, and transporters eligible for $100,000 in federal compensation. If you or a loved one worked in the uranium industry, you may now qualify — even if you were previously denied.
