JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc.

The JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. is one of 39 environmental and peace organizations that won a landmark lawsuit against the U.S Department of Energy for failure to follow-through on adequate environmental cleanup during its 50+ years of nuclear weapons research, testing, and production. Part of this settlement was the establishment of the MTA Fund (Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund), which provided $6.25 million for tribes and non-profit organizations to assess and conduct independent technical and scientific studies regarding the multitude of technical, ecological, and health issues surrounding the nation’s nuclear weapons complex.

Clark University was chosen by the non-profit peace and environmental groups as the conservator of these reports to ensure they remain available to the public in perpetuity. The unconventional election of university as conservator is an innovative example, particularly within the era of Web 1.0, of higher education as protector and provider of information through wide dissemination.

The research and reports available in this series were conducted by the JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. with their allocated portion of the MTA fund.

Cancer and Workers Exposed to Ionizing Radiation A Review of the Research Literature

JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc.

This research overview is part of an initiative: Worker and Community-Based Self Help on Epidemiology, Surveillance, and Compensation Rights at Los Alamos. The project is supported by a grant from the Citizens' Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund. It is being conducted by JSI Center For Environmental Health Studies (JSI) in collaboration with the worker organization Citizens for LANL Employee Rights (CLER) and the community-based organization El Rio Arriba Environmental Health Association (El RAEHA). The goal is to advance worker understanding and participation in important decision making. Experts invited to the community conducted a series of workshops covering such topics as occupational health and safety, epidemiology, health effects of exposure to radiation and asbestos, the role of occupational studies in setting exposure standards, and worker compensation.

For those who are impacted by cancer that may be due to employment at a nuclear facility there are few places to turn to for information that is objective and up-to-date. The concerns of exposed individuals tend to fall through the cracks of government agencies, the medical profession, and anti-nuclear groups. This guide attempts to provide useful, objective information for those who have worked in nuclear industries, in particular the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). In it you will find summarized results of health studies conducted at LANL and across the world to determine whether specific types of cancer may arise from radiation exposure. Rates of cancer in Rio Arriba and Los Alamos counties are also included. This information can be of value to the broader community in efforts to best protect residents and act on health concerns.
