CREW has had contact with several former Starmet/NMI workers who have experienced serious health problems. Former workers should contact CREW if they believe that they have contracted illnesses from exposure to toxic materials at Starmet. In 2000 the US Department of Energy (DOE) established a program to provide compensation to the employees of DOE contractors that manufactured radioactive weapons or used beryllium in their production. Workers of Starmet/Nuclear Metals qualify for compensation under this program. (For more information about workers at Starmet/NMI see Resources for Former Workers.
