An advocacy group for former Nevada Test Site workers, the Atomic Veterans and Victims of America Inc., will hold an organizational meeting Saturday to elect officers and discuss the government’s illness compensation program for Energy Department employees and survivors.

John Funk, chairman of the nonprofit group, said the meeting is important “because there is a lot of new information that people don’t know about.”

He was referring to recent revelations about the Nevada Test Site profile used by contractors for the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health to reconstruct radioactive exposures that workers received from test site activities.

Funk said other issues related to the Labor Department’s Energy Employees Illness Compensation Program will be discussed.

The meeting will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Southwest Regional District Council of Carpenters building, 501 N. Lamb Blvd.
