       database -- Findings and recommendations. 
520 3  Beginning with the development of the atomic bomb during 
       World War II, the United States continued to build nuclear
       weapons throughout the Cold War. Thousands of people mined
       and milled uranium, conducted research on nuclear warfare,
       or worked in nuclear munitions factories around the 
       country from the 1940s through the 1980s. Such work 
       continues today, albeit to a smaller extent. The 
       Department of Energy (DOE) is now responsible for 
       overseeing those sites and facilities, many of which were,
       and continue to be, run by government contractors. The 
       materials used at those sites were varied and ranged from 
       the benign to the toxic and highly radioactive. Workers at
       DOE facilities often did not know the identity of the 
       materials with which they worked and often were unaware of
       health risks related to their use. In many instances, the 
       work was considered top secret, and employees were 
       cautioned not to reveal any work-related information to 
       family or others. Workers could be exposed to both 
       radioactive and nonradioactive toxic substances for weeks 
       or even years. Consequently, some of the workers have 
       developed health problems and continue to have concerns 
       about potential health effects of their exposures to 
       occupational hazards during their employment in the 
       nuclear weapons industry. In response to the concerns 
       expressed by workers and their representatives, DOL asked 
       the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to review the SEM database
       and its use of a particular database, Haz-Map, as the 
       source of its toxic substance-occupational disease links. 
       Accordingly, this IOM consensus report reflects careful 
       consideration of its charge by the committee, and 
       describes the strengths and shortcomings of both. To 
       complete its task, IOM formed an ad hoc committee of 
       experts in occupational medicine, toxicology, epidemiology,
       industrial hygiene, public health, and biostatistics to 
       conduct an 18-month study to review the scientific rigor 
       of the SEM database. The committee held two public 
       meetings at which it heard from DOL Division of Energy 
       Employee Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) 
       representatives, the DOL contractor that developed the SEM
       database, the developer of the Haz-Map database, DOE 
       worker advocacy groups, and several individual workers. 
       The committee also submitted written questions to DOL to 
       seek clarification of specific issues and received written
       responses from DEEOIC. The committee's report considers 
       both the strengths and weaknesses of the SEM and the Haz-
       Map databases, recognizing that the latter was developed 
       first and for a different purpose. The committee then 
       discusses its findings and recommends improvements that 
       could be made in both databases with a focus on enhancing 
       the usability of SEM for both DOL claims examiners and for
       former DOE workers and their representatives. Review of 
       the Department of Labor's Site Exposure Matrix Database 
       summarizes the committee's findings.
