Downwinders Clinic Holding Public Meetings In Several Utah Cities and Idaho Falls To Discuss The Recent Reauthorization And Expansion Of The Program

The RESEP (Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program) clinic from St. George Regional Hospital will be holding public informational meetings in several Utah cities and in Idaho Falls, Idaho on September 20^th, 25^th, 26^th and 27^th, 2025. These meetings are to inform the public about the reinstatement and expansion of the RECA program and what areas now qualify. 

Come receive information regarding what new areas now qualify to apply for the RECA compensation as well as the new increased compensation amount. If you have called asking for an application to be sent and they have not been able to call you back, applications will be available. Unfortunately, if you have already been compensated by the RECA program, the law does not allow you to apply for any additional money.

The term “Downwinder” is used to describe people who were exposed to radioactive fallout in Arizona, Nevada and Utah, Idaho and New Mexico during the nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site.  Local residents, and their families, are encouraged to come have their questions answered about the program. 

Meetings will be held at the following dates and sites:
