Individuals or family members of individuals who worked in the Westinghouse Atomic Power Development Plant in Pittsburgh from 1942 to 1944 may qualify for payment from exposure to certain types of radiation.  To qualify for a lump sum payment of $150,000 dollars and certain medical expenses,  the individual or family members must show that the worker developed cancer after working at the location.

There are 22 types of cancer that would qualify an individual from receiving the lump sum cash payment.  In some cases, proof has to occur extensively, but in other cases just showing that you have the cancer will qualify an individual or their family for the payment.
