A proposed move by the administration may weaken federal safety regulations aimed at minimizing public exposure to radiation. Critics argue the change could undermine long-standing protections in place for workers and communities near nuclear facilities. The shift comes amid broader debates over regulatory rollbacks in environmental and public health policies. Supporters claim the adjustment would streamline compliance without compromising safety, though experts question whether the new approach maintains adequate safeguards.
A push by President Trump could mean the elimination of a safety standard designed to keep radiation exposure as low as possible.
