The Committee to Conduct a Feasibility Assessment of Veteran Health Effects of Manhattan Project (1942-1947) Related Waste will host a public presentation and discussion webinar associated with the release of its consensus report. We invite you to join the webinar, which will be held virtually on Friday, August 1, 2025 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm Eastern time.

This report is a feasibility assessment to determine whether an epidemiologic study as directed by Congress in PL 117-168 section 506 could be conducted to examine health outcomes in active-duty military veterans who participated in the Manhattan Project (January 12, 1942- August 15, 1947) at 13 specified sites, given the specified period and uncertainties regarding what records or data exist for identifying individual veterans, their quantifiable project-related exposures (radiological, chemical, and combined), and where those records are located. It describes potential sources of records and information for exposures and health outcomes, and it characterizes their contents to the extent possible. The report offers conclusions on the feasibility of conducting such a study and provides alternative methods to examine associations between exposures and adverse health outcomes among this population of veterans.

Committee chair Dr. Linda McCauley (Emory University) will be joined by Committee members Dr. Nicole E. Martinez (Clemson University), Dr. Sarah S. Cohen (DLH, LLC), and Dr. Jason Krupar (University of Cincinnati) to discuss the Committee’s report, including its findings and conclusions.
