Allied
Chemical
Allied Chemical is an AWE facility from 1959-March 1, 2011 so workers are eligible to file Part B claims.
A Special Exposure Cohort exists for all workers with specific cancers and 250 days employment from January 1, 1959-December 31, 1976.
After World War II, many companies
working for the United States Government produced UF6 feed
for uranium enrichment and diffusion plants. The Allied
Plant in Metropolis, IL was completed and initial deliveries
began sometime in 1959. In 1962, several feed plants were
shut down and the privately-owned Allied Chemical Company
Plant in Metropolis, IL, took over the conversion of U3O8 to
UF6. This plant produced approximately five thousand tons of
uranium hexafluoride feed for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion
Plant per year. It was shut down in 1964. Though it later
reopened, it is not clear that any material after this date
was used in the Atomic Weapons Production Process.
During the period of residual
contamination, as designated by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health and as noted in the dates
above, employees of subsequent owners and operators of this
facility are also covered under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.
