Increasing Public Exposure to Radiation

Increasing Public Exposure to Radiation

The federal government is proposing to increase the amount of radiation to which the public can be exposed, in order to help reduce costs for the nuclear industry. In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about the Trump administration working to undermine California’s efforts to pivot away from fossil fuels, the pork industry’s powerful influence over regulations concerning concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), and new research showing that athletes consuming a plant based diet have just as much energy and strength as those consuming animal foods. Then Cindy Folkers, Radiation and Health Hazard Specialist at non-profit Beyond Nuclear talks about a new proposed regulation from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that would allow the public to be exposed to increased levels of radiation, lowering costs and regulatory hurdles for the nuclear power industry.
