STANDING
Although the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was not the worker's employer, the Defense Project Insurance Rating Plan Contract between the Department and the AEC, authorized by Chapter 144, Laws of 1951, makes the AEC a party in interest in all claims arising out of work done by contractors or subcontractors at the Hanford Works. The AEC is therefore a "person affected" within the meaning of RCW 51.52.050 and has standing to appear in proceedings before the Board. ....John Schatz, 25,823 (1968) [dissent]
