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.
- PER 4: Application of Photofluorography at the Pinellas Plant
PDF 373 KB (3 pages)
Document Number: OCAS-PER-0004 Rev-00
About this Document: Describes the evaluation of the programmatic
effect of the discovery of photofluorographic examinations on dose reconstructions for employees of the Pinellas Plant.
Approved: February 15, 2005
Summary: Evidence of photofluorography as discovered in a claimant's medical records from the Pinellas Plant. As a result, photofluorography use at Pinellas is now assumed through 1959. This assumption will not change the likely compensability of any completed dose reconstruction. The relevant ORAU procedure will be modified, and photofluorography use will be assumed in the Pinellas Plant site profile.

PER 28: Pinellas TBD Revision
PDF 14 KB (1 page)
Document Number: OCAS-PER-028 Rev-00
About this Document: New document to determine which
previously completed claims require
evaluation for the effect of revising the
Pinellas TBD.
Approved: October 30, 2007
Summary: There were 24 Pinellas dose reconstructions completed with a probability of causation below 50% between August 3, 2006, and November 8, 2006. NIOSH will review these dose reconstructions to determine if missed photon dose was included when appropriate. NIOSH will provide DOL with the list of 24 claims as well as a determination on each claim as to whether a new Dose Estimate is required. Documentation for each claim not requiring a new dose reconstruction will provide the basis for that determination.

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 the Pinellas Plant:

Advisory Board Work Group on the Pinellas Plant
This Work Group is responsible to review the Pinellas Plant Site Profile (as revised), to review the SC&A Review of the Pinellas Site Profile, to consider issues raised by the Board's contractor (SC&A) concerning the site profile, and to assist NIOSH and SC&A in the resolution of such issues. The Work Group may recommend to the Board changes in the site profile as appropriate.

Miscellaneous Public Meetings
- February 28-29
NIOSH staff will be in Pinellas Park, Florida, to meet with former and current Pinellas Plant workers about the SEC Petitioning Process
Banquet Masters
8100 Park Boulevard North
Pinellas Park, Florida
Thursday, February 28: 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
Friday, February 29: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time)
Please note that both meetings will be identical in format and information. Holding two meetings provides an opportunity for energy workers and other's 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 on the SEC petitioning process, and will cover topics such as (1) how to file an SEC petition, (2) who is eligible to file an SEC petition, (3) what steps SEC petitions go through, and (4) background information about the SEC.
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 Pinellas Park.
