Event Description:
U.S. Representative Paul Gosar will hold a town hall on Downwinders, people living in the county who were exposed to radiation during nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s at the Nevada Test Site in Southern Nevada.
Gosar proposed a House Bill, HR424, in January 2013, which would declare all of Mohave County eligible for compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). The bill is before a subcommittee in the US House of Representatives. Compensation from the RECA would be $50,000 per person.
