The NRC may weaken long-standing radiation limits, despite evidence that even small increases raise cancer risk—especially for women, children, and pregnant people. With millions of pounds of waste near communities like San Onofre, this is a safety and equity issue.

Trump's new radiation exposure limits could be 'catastrophic' for women and girls
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission may soon loosen radiation exposure safety standards at nuclear plants and operations. Experts warn the general public is unsafe.

An investigative report exposes Holtec’s stalled reactor plans, past misconduct, and pattern of unfulfilled promises. With Holtec overseeing San Onofre’s waste, experts warn that weak oversight risks leaving 8.4M Californians vulnerable to preventable failures.

How Holtec International became an expanding (and controversial) nuclear power
The firm's history of overpromising and underdelivery raises a question: Is this who we should trust with the future of nuclear energy?
