‘Downwinders Clinic’ will host free meetings across Utah for RECA-eligible families

The Downwinders Clinic, part of Intermountain Health, is rolling out free informational meetings across Utah to educate residents potentially eligible for the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). With more areas in the state now qualifying for RECA payments, the clinic aims to inform those affected by nuclear testing. RECA offers a one-time compensation of $100,000, so these meetings are crucial for helping families understand their eligibility and the application process. This initiative underscores the ongoing need to support communities affected by historical radiation exposure.
