The Trump Administration has directed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to overhaul long-standing radiation protection standards as part of a broader effort to accelerate the expansion of nuclear reactors, nuclear-powered data centers, and nuclear weapons production.
What does this mean for you, your family, your community, and future generations?
Join us for “In the Weeds,” a comprehensive dive into the scientific, medical, and legal issues behind the proposed NRC changes. Leading experts will explain what is being proposed, why it matters, what the potential health consequences could be, and—most importantly—what you can do before the August 31 public comment deadline.
🗓️ Date: Wednesday, August 19
⏰ Time: 6:00-7:30 PM mountain / 8:00 - 9:30 PM eastern
Register in advance. Link in bio on Linktree
Topics Will Include:
❓What the NRC is proposing — an overview of the proposed changes to radiation protection standards
🔎The science of radiation risk — what decades of research tell us about exposure and health effects
🤯Cancer and nuclear power — recent research examining cancer mortality and proximity to nuclear power plants
👶Radiation and vulnerable populations — implications for women, children, pregnant people, workers, and future generations
⚖The legal and regulatory framework — what the proposed changes could mean for existing radiation protections
☢ALARA and the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model — why these principles matter and what is at stake if they are weakened or abandoned
📩How to make an effective public comment — what to say, what issues to address, and how to submit comments before the August 31 deadline.

Take action now to safeguard radiation standards! Sierra Club made it easy for us to comment by the August 31 deadline. Thank you, Sierra Club!
Radiation protections have been honed for decades to keep up safer. New rules could put workers and the public at higher risk for contamination and increased cancers.

Tell the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: We Need Strong Radioactive Pollution Protections!
Now, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is asking for public comment on proposed changes in current radiation exposure standards that would open the door to exposing people and the environment to higher radiation. Tell NRC you oppose the proposed rule!
