"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.

Trump just assaulted the independence of the nuclear regulator. What could go wrong?

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.
