Going forward, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must send new rules regarding reactor safety to the White House, where they will be reviewed and possibly edited (www.npr.org)

That is a radical departure for the watchdog agency, which historically has been among the most independent in the government. The new procedures for White House review have been in the works for months, but they were just recently finalized and are now in full effect.

NPR has also seen a draft of an executive order "ordering the reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission." The draft calls for reducing the size of the NRC's staff, conducting a "wholesale revision" of its regulations in coordination with the White House and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team, shortening the time to review reactor designs and possibly loosening the current, strict standards for radiation exposure.

If there is one thing fascists know, it is nuclear safety. This is great
