GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Labor says people who worked at uranium mills in Grand Junction, Maybell, Nucla, Naturita, Rifle, Slick Rock and 10 other locations could be eligible for compensation if they suffer from radiation-related illnesses.
The department listed the mills on a report that advises government officials, attorneys and others that employees of the affected mills are eligible.
According to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, the qualifications are limited to specified dates of work on environmental-remediation efforts.
