How does ORAU determine the order for when the telephone interviews are conducted?
Our contractor, ORAU, is responsible for conducting the telephone interviews. ORAU has been instructed to conduct the interviews in the order that we have received the claims, whenever possible. At times, specific information (e.g., exposure information, completed technical documents, or exposure models) may become available for certain sites that will allow ORAU to complete the draft dose reconstruction for claims originating from those sites. Therefore, ORAU may need to conduct the interviews for these cases so they can complete the dose reconstruction process (this will mean that some interviews will not occur in the order that we have received the cases).
