  7. INITIAL INL AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE REPORT • Report received August 2004 • Employee with neurologic symptoms but no specific diagnosis to date. • Employee knew others at worksite with possibly similar conditions • Several former RESL employees might have related diseases. • Diseases included neurologic symptoms, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, arthritis Could an occupational exposure be involved?

  8. HEADQUARTERS CONCERNS • Diseases not similar enough to define disease cluster, • Lack of clinical diagnoses, • Cases diagnosed over a period of approximately six years, • No specific occupational exposure suspected, and • NIOSH review concluded insufficient evidence of cluster to warrant investigation

  9. RATE OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES BY AGE GROUP AVERAGED OVER 8 YEARS, INEL VS. OTHER SITES

  10. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AT INL VS. OTHER SITES, 1995-2002
