“Today, unfortunately, the NRC’s undoing of its strengthened security framework is all but total, as the no-longer-independent agency caves in to Trump administration directives and slashes its security oversight to a level not seen since September 10, 2001. “
Cutting costs and rushing deployment of reactors that have not demonstrated safety claims is a recipe for disaster, and citizens are the ones most at risk 🤔😵‍💫😔

The feds are on the move and Hanford is the target - throwing aside the state Dept. of Ecology and regional constituent public interest groups/affected Tribes who have advised for decades on the primary cleanup mission to clear the deck for deep pocketed pro-nuclear development interests who are seeking short term profits over the well being of current and future generations who want a safe and healthy Columbia River...😞

Looks like DOE is pulling a fast one once again, and the danger is on we the people being put at risk instead of protected...

Does this look solid to you? You may be surprised to learn that this picture shows a container of grouted tank waste getting ready for shipment to Utah for final disposal, not a container of excavated soil.

We were shocked to learn that solidifying Hanford tank waste in grout looks like this after hearing USDOE describe grout, for years, as a solid concrete-like monolith. Learn more here: https://tinyurl.com/CleanupUpdateGrout

What’s going down without local consent in Kansas 😔

The first underground nuclear reactor in history is being drilled through the drinking water of Parsons, Kansas, to power AI data centers, after the safety rules that would have stopped it were rewritten in secret. Residents are fighting back.

Final callout to add your voice urging the NRC to strengthen, not weaken radiation exposure protection standards!

For over 80 years, the nuclear power and weapons industry has contaminated our world. Now, fueled by executive pressure to favor nuclear expansion and data centers, the NRC is attempting to weaken the very standards meant to keep us safe from radioactive exposure. We refuse to accept higher radiation limits and compromised health.

Hello Radiation Protectors,

The Coalition to Stop Radioactive Pollution: Protect Better Campaign is sounding the alarm: the push for nuclear-powered data centers and more weapons is dismantling bedrock safety rules. Executive Orders are forcing the NRC to lower protections and greenlight higher radiation exposures for the public.

Tomorrow is the Deadline: your voice is our defense against radioactive pollution.

Radioactivity lasts eons, and its health harms accumulate over a lifetime. We cannot stand by while safeguards are dismantled for corporate and industrial gain.

YOUR VOICE IS URGENTLY NEEDED.

SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS BEFORE THE AUGUST 31 DEADLINE!

Go to: ProtectBetter.org/nrc-comments

Your voice matters. Public comments can influence federal policy. Join us and help protect the health of current and future generations.

In solidarity,

Your Protect Better Team

The United States keeps going to war over uranium enrichment. We started a war in Iraq over it after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, “We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud,” which later proved to be false. We bombed Iran’s enrichment facilities in June 2025, with Tru...
