ORAU Kingston Project

Offering Free Medical Screenings for Residents Who Believe They Have Been Affected by the Fly Ash Spill

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), in conjunction with Vanderbilt University Medical Center toxicology experts, will be conducting free medical screenings this summer for Kingston/Roane County residents who believe they have been affected by the Kingston Fossil Plant fly ash spill of December, 2008.

ORAU has created this website to give those residents affected by the fly ash spill a place to:

• Sign-up to be contacted for a medical screening,
• Ask ORAU any questions regarding health concerns or the medical screening process itself.
• Learn about the medical screening protocol and view related forms.

This website will be updated on a regular basis based on feedback from the Kingston community and others. A Frequently Asked Questions page will address raised questions. Please check the site regularly for new details and updated information.

ORAU's directly relevant experience in medical screening programs and its proximity to the populations exposed to the fly ash from the Kingston Fossil Plant make ORAU uniquely suited, both geographically and experientially, to lead a program for the evaluation of human health effects in Kingston-area citizens.
