Since World War II, hundreds of thousands of Americans — including uranium miners, plutonium processors, and nuclear test participants — helped build the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal, and many developed disabling or fatal illnesses as a result. This resolution designates October 30, 2025, as a national day of remembrance for those workers. The Senate has passed similar resolutions every year since 2009, recognizing the sacrifices these workers made for national defense.
