    The regulations in this subpart describe the criteria for 
eligibility for compensation under section 4(a)(1) of the Act and the 
evidence that will be accepted as proof of the various criteria. Section 
4(a)(1) of the Act provides for a payment of $50,000 to individuals 
exposed to fallout from the detonation of atmospheric nuclear devices at 
the Nevada Test Site due to their physical presence in an affected area 
during a designated time period, and $75,000 to individuals who 
participated onsite in a test involving the atmospheric detonation of a 
nuclear device and who later developed leukemia.
