Why is the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health reviewing Site Profiles?
Under The Act, one of the Advisory Board’s functions is to advise the Secretary of HHS on the scientific validity and quality of NIOSH’s dose reconstruction efforts, which includes the NIOSH Site Profiles (see Responsibilities under Subtitle B of EEOICPA (The Act)). The Advisory Board reviews and evaluates the approach taken in NIOSH Site Profiles (including technical basis documents and supporting technical information bulletins as they apply to the TBDs) to gauge their adequacy, completeness, and validity.
