This bill asks the Department of Veterans Affairs to explore a study examining the link between radiation exposure and prostate cancer in veterans. The study would be conducted by either the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine or the National Cancer Institute.

The Secretary will then report the study’s findings to Congress.
