Pacific Association for Radiation Survivors working with stateside colleagues

The Pacific Association for Radiation Survivors continue to work with fellow downwinders from Idaho, New Mexico, and the Post 71 Uranium Miners to amend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act for those who were exposed to nuclear fallout and uranium mining.

The people of Guam have suffered from cancer and other diseases due to nuclear fallout for many years and PARS is hopeful that Guam's inclusion in RECA will bring most needed and deserved medical and financial assistance.

PARS received confirmation from Senator Mike Crapo's office that they will be including three amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act 2020.

These amendments would qualify Guam for RECA.
