  • Compensation issue for Cold War-era workers unresolved: A move to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to include a new disease has picked up steam, but a group of Cold War-era workers remains outside the system with little immediate hope of being included. Uranium miners, drillers, haulers and others who now suffer from a relatively common form of leukemia could become eligible for compassionate payments from the federal government under legislation proposed by Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo. Expanding the list of diseases covered by the compensation act, however, wouldn?t help core drillers, who located uranium deposits by drilling into the sandstones of the Southwest in the 1940s, ?50s and ?60s. Grand Junction?s Lester Rich, 75, a core driller during the uranium boom times on the Colorado Plateau, has so far dodged all of the diseases listed in the compensation act, as well as the form of leukemia now being contemplated for inclusion.
