Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program: The purpose of the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program (RESEP) is to help individuals adversely affected by mining, transport, and processing of uranium, or the testing of nuclear weapons, to receive medical care and compensation for illnesses that may have resulted from these activities. This is accomplished by providing competitive grant opportunities to States, local governments, and other health care organizations establish cancer screening programs. The major objectives of the programs are to: Screen individuals for cancer and other radiogenic diseases Provide referrals for diagnostic testing medical treatment of individuals screened Develop and disseminate public information and education programs for the detection, prevention, and treatment of radiogenic cancers and diseases; and Facilitate medical documentation of claims for the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) program There are seven health care organizations in five southwestern States (Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah) participating in the RESEP Program. These organizations include hospitals, universities, Indian Health Service facilities, medical centers and community health centers.
