Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs)
NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER). The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears that the compensability of a completed dose reconstruction may be effected, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific program details or issues.
At the current time, no PERs or PEPs specific to Brookhaven National Laboratory have been developed. However, we have developed PERs and PEPs that pertain to multiple sites. To view all PERs and PEPs that have been developed, please refer to the Program Evaluation Reports (PERs) and Program Evaluation Plans (PEPs) page.

Worker Outreach Activities
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
Below are the Worker Outreach Activities for Brookhaven National Laboratory:
- September 24, 2008
Public Meetings
North Shore Public Library
250 Route 25A
Shoreham, New York
Times (Eastern time):
2:00-4:00 p.m.
6:00-8:00 p.m.
The purpose of these meetings is to discuss NIOSH's role under Part B of the EEOICPA. Both meetings will be identical in format and information. Holding two meetings provides an
opportunity for energy workers and others interested in this information to attend whichever meeting
is most convenient. Space is limited so please attend only one of the two meetings to allow room
for others who may also be interested in attending. Attendance at these meetings is voluntary and
will not affect individual claims filed under Parts B or E of EEOICPA.
These meetings are intended to provide basic information about EEOICPA and will cover topics
such as:
- What is EEOICPA?
- What is NIOSH's role in EEOICPA?
- What is the current status of claims from Brookhaven National Lab?
Please note that NIOSH representatives at the meeting will not have access to information
pertaining to individual dose reconstructions and will not be equipped to answer such questions
while in Shoreham.
