Special Exposure Cohort (SEC)
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) : A group of energy workers who do not undergo dose reconstruction because they meet specific criteria outlined in the Act: a) have at least one of 22 specified cancers, b) worked at a facility covered under the Cohort, and c) worked for a specified amount of time. Workers may be added to the SEC if it is determined that 1) they were likely exposed to radiation at a nuclear facility, but it is not possible to estimate the amount of radiation the workers received with sufficient accuracy, and 2) there is a reasonable likelihood that the amount of radiation they received may have endangered their health. DOL determines whether an individual qualifies for compensation as part of the SEC
