So, they made it a "suggestion" to not contaminate the environment, got rid of a bunch of security requirements (Who needs security at a plant powering our cities anyway??), AND are upping the amount of radiation exposure someone can have before they seek treatment.

So, basically a bunch of evil shit. huh, whuda'thunk the same people that saw the increased incidence of new cancers with all the PFAS in our water and food, and decided to roll back regulations on it while introducing a brand-new PFAS laden pesticide for all our crops! Wonderful! We'll all get cancer and die early deaths because of them!

They're making literally everything worse, murdering us in the street, arresting dissidents, covering up their crimes, and stealing billions while they do it.

I don't see any company jumping at the rim to implement these though, especially considering the high chance that it will just be overturned next party flip. Stuff like this needs bi-partisanship and transparency otherwise it just gets revoked when the party flips again.

it's a waste of money until it's clear both primary parties agree with the change, the fact it had to be done in silent/under the table says everything about the volatility of this change.

Worst part of this is nuclear regulation really does need rewritten but this administration somehow finds the worst way to do everything.

This is going to be unpopular, because it's Trump doing it, but most of this is probably good. Nuclear power is incredibly safe. It's also really reliable, and it would be cheap but the dirty energy companies have made laws and regulations that make nuclear power so expensive it can't compete. We should be lessening regulations around nuclear power. It should be done thoughtfully, which I doubt this is, but it needs to be done.

For example, the linear no-threshold danger model for radiation exposure is at best wrong, and at worst actively harmful.

Nuclear power has been purposefully over-regulated to protect energy companies. If it were regulated at a reasonable amount it'd be far more cost-effective than other sources (besides maybe solar and wind). Companies producing and selling dirty energy would go bankrupt incredibly quickly, if they didn't invest in alternatives, if they're regulated to the same levels of safety. The energy market has been designed to favor them over nuclear.
