...expedited access to compensation. Instead, the government panel approved that status only for workers employed at Rocky Flats from Jan. 1, 1959 to Dec. 31, 1966, saying there simply weren't enough good records available for determining each worker's level of exposure to radiation on the job (earlier, pre-1959 employees were also granted SEC status).
