NIRS

@gbrumfiel They are not themselves revising the NRC regulations, but Exec Order 14300 both directs the NRC to overhaul all of its existing regs - including the ALARA radiation standard - and directs NRC to truncate its own safety reviews of reactor designs that DOE has “already approved”.

First some context. These are not the rules that govern nuclear reactors operating today. Rather, these rules apply to a set of experimental reactors being built at the Department of Energy. Last year Trump signed an EO calling for 3 reactors to be running by July 4, 2026...

EXCLSUVIE: The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules and shared them with the companies they're meant to regulate, without making the new rules publicly available. We've got a copy of the new rules and here's what we found. npr.org/2026/01/28/nx-…

Protesters met today to oppose @GovKathyHochul’s movement to push nuclear energy. The protest began around 11am outside of the Marriott in downtown @syracuse1848. For more on the event, look out for the story on @nccnewsonline.

We heard from a member of @agreenewyork for the latest @WCNYPBS episode of CONNECT NY that explored #NuclearEnergy in the Empire State. Episode➡️pbs.org/video/new-nucl…

You can’t store nuclear waste in the cloud. ☁️💻 Data centers need reliable, clean energy, not the long-term risks of nuclear power. Renewables like wind and solar are faster, safer, and better for our planet—and they don’t leave behind waste that lasts for thousands of years. 🌱

Don’t be fooled by the nuclear industry’s greenwashing. 🌍 True sustainable energy is about protecting people and the planet, not creating more waste, risks, and pollution. Let’s invest in renewable energy like wind and solar to build a cleaner, greener future. 💚

A new DOE report shows the U.S. can recycle 90% of decommissioned wind turbines, with innovative strategies needed for the rest. #windenergy energy.gov/eere/articles/…

Pollinators power our ecosystems, not pollution. 🌼🐝 Let’s protect the bees, butterflies, and our planet by investing in green energy solutions—not harmful nuclear energy and uranium mining. The future is renewable, sustainable, and buzzing with life! 🌍💚 #GoGreen #NoNukes

Utility companies like PacifiCorp are raising rates on customers while delaying justice for wildfire victims. 💡🔥 It's time to hold utilities accountable and stop rate hikes that burden those already impacted by disaster. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/01/07/law… #ProtectRatePayers

Expanding the nuclear energy complex means more radioactive waste, environmental risks, and displacement of communities. Let’s focus on clean, safe, and sustainable solutions like wind and solar instead. The future is renewable, not radioactive. 🌍⚡ #NoNukes #RenewablesNow

We need a truly renewable, truly green energy future! We MUST save the planet and not defunct and dangerous nuclear reactors! #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy

In Fukushima, evacuees like Ichiro Suenaga still can't return home 13 years after the nuclear disaster. Now, Japan’s new energy plan backtracks on reducing reliance on nuclear power—a devastating betrayal to those displaced. We must not forget Fukushima. #NuclearTruth #Fukushima

Nuclear isn’t green—it’s a toxic gamble. From uranium mining to radioactive waste, the risks are real, and billions are wasted on unproven SMRs while renewables like wind & solar are ready NOW. It’s time to stop nuclear greenwashing and invest in true climate solutions. 🌱

💥☢️ The new Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) must pass! It’s time to expand justice for Cold War radiation victims. Utah’s House delegation must push Speaker Johnson to act. We can’t ignore the human cost of atomic weapons testing. #PassRECA sltrib.com/opinion/editor…

🌿💡 Clean, Green Renewables: The Power of Tomorrow It’s time to prioritize renewable energy—for healthier communities, a stronger economy, and a thriving planet. 🌎✨
