Last reviewed for CCPS 30 September 2002.
Preliminary questions [32165]
32166 there is some evidence that inhalation of plutonium-239 may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
32167 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhalation of plutonium-239 and VEA service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
32168 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhalation of plutonium-239 and operational service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
or
32169 — the veteran has established the causal connection between inhalation of plutonium-239 and eligible service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
Clinical onset and operational service [32168]
32170 the veteran has inhaled plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 1.5 kiloBecquerel at some time.
the veteran inhaled plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 1.5 kiloBecquerel before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. operational service made a material contribution to the veteran's inhalation of plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 1.5 kiloBecquerel before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's inhalation of plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 1.5 kiloBecquerel, to which operational service made a material contribution, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.Clinical onset and eligible service [32169]
the veteran has inhaled plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 3 kiloBecquerel at some time. the veteran inhaled plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 3 kiloBecquerel before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. eligible service made a material contribution to the veteran's inhalation of plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 3 kiloBecquerel before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran's inhalation of plutonium-239 resulting in a body burden of at least 3 kiloBecquerel, to which eligible service made a material contribution, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.
