STATUS: Open to the public for observation and comment, limited only by
space available. The meeting room will accommodate approximately 100
people.
PURPOSE: Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 1990
with the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has been given the responsibility and resources for
conducting analytic epidemiologic investigations of residents of
communities in the vicinity of DOE facilities and other persons
potentially exposed to radiation or to potential hazards from non-
nuclear energy production and use. HHS delegated program responsibility
to CDC.
CDC has begun an environmental dose reconstruction for DOE's Idaho
National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) near Idaho Falls, Idaho. Sanford
Cohen & Associates (SC&A) is gathering the data necessary to perform
the dose reconstruction under contract to CDC. SC&A has formed a
working group made up of Idaho citizens. The working group's primary
purpose is to follow the project's progress and provide input in SC&A's
planning process.
The working group meetings are intended to promote direct public
input into Phase I of the INEL Dose Reconstruction Project. Topics will
focus particularly on technical and operational issues to help improve
and expedite the process of identifying and retrieving documents
relevant to a dose reconstruction for INEL.
The public information meetings are to: (1) share information about
SC&A's working group, (2) provide the public an opportunity to review
actual records that have been entered into the database; and (3) gain
input from the public on the project.
Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
