In 1990, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) was signed into law by President George Bush. The law established one time payments of $100,000.00 to uranium miners who suffered a compensable disease. On July 10, 2000, President Clinton signed the RECAA amendments that expanded the program to include uranium millers and ore transporters. Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) of 2000 also included an additional $50,000.00 and medical benefits for uranium workers approved under RECA.
