SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) expired over a year ago, but it has recently been restored and expanded, and the Intermountain Health Downwinders Clinic is now available for those impacted by nuclear testing.

RECA provides compensation for health issues like cancer that people have experienced due to radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing in Nevada between the 1950s to the 1960s.

The Downwinders Clinic is located in the St. George Regional Cancer Center, and it can help with education, healthcare assistance, and applying for RECA funding for affected families. • The St. George Regional Cancer Center, where the Downwinders Clinic is located.
