What the document says“was physically present in an affected area for a period of at least 2 years after January 1, 1949; and”
The section adds a new section 5A to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act under which a claimant is compensated where a claim is filed with the Attorney General by the individual or, if they are dead or incapacitated, by an authorized agent such as an executor, guardian or conservator; the individual is shown to have been physically present in an affected area for at least 2 years after January 1, 1949 and to have contracted a specified disease after that; the Attorney General certifies the identity is not fraudulent or misrepresented; and the Attorney General finds the Act's requirements met.
What the document actually says“was physically present in an affected area for a period of at least 2 years after January 1, 1949; and”
The person must have been in an affected area. That must be for at least two years. It must fall after January 1, 1949.
They must then have caught a listed disease. An agent may file for them if they died. The Attorney General checks the identity.
