It is our understanding that the site will evaluate and compile the exposures for all these individuals including personal information such as affiliation, address, date of birth and social security number.
We have discussed this with Mr. Mark Nelson who is an HEW representative at the NRC Operations Center and he has agreed to relay this information to Dr. Robbins.
