flag The Trump administration secretly weakened nuclear safety rules to speed up small reactor development, raising safety and transparency concerns.

flag The Trump administration has secretly revised nuclear safety regulations to accelerate development of small modular reactors, cutting over 750 pages of rules related to safety, environmental protection, and accident reporting. flag Changes include weakening groundwater protections, reducing radiation exposure thresholds, and eliminating key oversight roles, all without public notice or formal consultation. flag The revisions, made under a May 2025 executive order aiming to approve three experimental reactors by July 4, 2026, were shared only with industry partners and are not yet publicly released. flag Experts and watchdogs warn the changes undermine decades of safety standards and public trust, despite the Department of Energy’s claim that safety is maintained while boosting innovation.
