Raytheon, IT Corp, Navarro and the rest
Five names are not the whole story. Alongside REECo, EG&G, Bechtel Nevada, NSTec and MSTS, the Nevada Test Site was run by engineering firms, environmental contractors, laboratories, aviation operators and several hundred subcontractors. All of it was work at a covered Department of Energy facility.
Raytheon Services Nevada, and what came before it.
Raytheon Services Nevada took over the architectural and engineering function in November 1990, and was one of the three contractors consolidated into Bechtel Nevada on 1 January 1996. Holmes & Narver, Fenix & Scisson, Daniel Mann Johnson & Mendenhall and John A. Blume Engineering all appear on DOL’s subcontractor list for the site.
IT Corp, Stoller-Navarro, Navarro-Intera.
The environmental and remediation work passed through several companies. DOL lists IT Corporation, the Stoller-Navarro Joint Venture, Navarro-Intera, Navarro Nevada Environmental Services and Navarro Research and Engineering for the Nevada Test Site.
For the Nevada Site Office, DOL records IT Corp for environmental services from 1993 to 2003 and Stoller/Navarro from 2003.
The names people give that are not on anyone’s poster.
Sandia Corporation, Lockheed Martin Nevada Technologies, Science Applications International, the Desert Research Institute, the U.S. Geological Survey, Pan Am World Services, Universal Helicopter and Lovelace Respiratory all appear on the Department of Labor’s published list for the site, along with more than four hundred others.
Department of Energy contractor and subcontractor employees are covered the same as federal employees, and the job title does not matter. Craft and construction, security, drivers, cooks, clerks, custodians and warehouse staff worked at a covered facility exactly as the scientists did.
The Department of Labor decides every claim. Alara assesses the patient, coordinates the physician documentation and the home-health authorization, and provides the authorized care. It does not file claims and nothing here is a determination of eligibility.
Four questions, and a nurse reads the answers.
Where the work was. Who the paycheck came from. Roughly when. What a doctor has said about your health since. That is enough for a nurse to say whether there is something here worth opening — and if there is not, to say that too.
Nothing here is a determination of eligibility, and nobody takes a percentage of anything. Claim help through the Department of Labor’s Resource Center is free.
What people ask first.
I worked for a laboratory or a university at the Test Site. Is that covered work?
The covered facility is what matters, not the kind of organisation that employed you. Several universities, laboratories and federal agencies appear on DOL’s subcontractor list for the site.
I worked for Raytheon but not in Nevada.
Then the question is whether the facility you worked at is a covered Department of Energy facility. Many are, across the country, and it is worth reviewing wherever the work was.
I did environmental remediation after testing ended. Does that period count?
The Nevada Test Site is a covered facility for work from 1951 on, which includes the remediation era. The Special Exposure Cohort periods end in 1992, but a claim outside them is still a claim.
A nurse reads it, not a form.
A case review takes a few minutes and needs no records, no claim number and no appointment. Nothing here is a determination of eligibility.
