RECA — Manhattan Project Waste Application Data Tracking

This site was created to make data from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) program easier to access and understand. It tracks and visualizes Manhattan Project–related waste site claims over time — showing how many have been approved, denied, or remain pending. The site is completely free, ad-free, and tracking-free, built to promote transparency and public awareness. This project is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Justice or the RECA program or Just Moms STL. All data is pulled from publicly available government sources. This site is provided as-is for informational and educational purposes only. So far the DOJ only updates the numbers once per day (around 9am cst) but they are rechecked every hour for any changes. Also for transparancy each date is linked to the DOJ site where the data was pulled from.

Goal for the next working year.
Uses the Pending number of applications divided by the number of working days in a year 250 days (Mon–Fri). This is the average daily approvals needed to approve all current Pending applications within the next year. Required burndown rate (apps/day) 59.9
This is the average number of applications approved or denied over the last 60 calendar days

Computation:
Total of (approved + denied) / working days over the last 60 days. If this number is lower that the required burndown rate it means the DOJ is not currently on track to approve all pending application in the next year as stated in the claim letter. Current burndown rate — last 60 days (apps/day) 26.7
