The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), which provides compensation to individuals exposed to harmful radiation, is set to expire this summer. Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, the legislation has yet to be considered in the House, leaving many concerned individuals facing an uncertain future. Advocates believe the bill’s expansion could extend beyond individual assistance, providing grants and funding for impacted communities, including medical screening clinics and educational opportunities. However, the legislation’s hefty price tag of approximately $60 billion has raised concerns about its feasibility.
