The Trump administration is making headlines by secretly rewriting nuclear safety rules, raising concerns among various stakeholders. In a high-stakes effort to relax radiation limits, the Department of Energy has ended the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, potentially paving the way for a resurgence in nuclear power. However, critics argue that loosening these radiation rules will not expedite the growth of nuclear energy. Simultaneously, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released findings concerning a crash in Washington D.C., adding to the scrutiny faced by the administration. As the push for nuclear power continues, it is testing the limits of Democratic priorities regarding radiation safety measures.
