"Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" so it is a bit long and sometimes rambling. This is a bit political but also pertinent to the effort to advance nuclear power, so I put this article here.

It was interesting that DOE nuclear engineers were largely blocked from taking the Elon Musk DRP.  Health Physicists were not and there were a lot of upper management in DOD/DOE/VA very unhappy to allow any of them out.  The VA blocked dieticians, along with doctors and nursing from applying for the DRP.   The radiologists can do it all now.
