Dear Sean,
The Trump Administration
has directed
the Nuclear
Regulatory
Commission
(NRC) to
weaken
long-standing
radiation
protection
standards in
order to
accelerate the
expansion of
nuclear
reactors,
nuclear-powered
data centers,
and nuclear
weapons
production. Help
stop nuclear
powered data
centers which
are the cause
of weakening
radiation
protection of
communities
and workers.
In response, PSR and our
partners have
launched the Coalition
to Stop
Radioactive
Pollution
and the Protect
Better
Campaign.
Learn more at
our new
website, www.protectbetter.org,
and in a
series of
webinars,
starting
tomorrow.
Join leading experts as
they explain
what is being
proposed, why
it matters,
the potential
health
consequences,
and what you
can do before
the August
31 public
comment
deadline.
Webinar topics Include:
- How proposed NRC rule
changes could
increase
allowable
radiation
exposure for
the public and
workers.
- Why scientists and health
professionals
are raising
the alarm.
- Health impacts that
extend far
beyond cancer,
including
cardiovascular
disease,
immune system
damage,
infertility,
pregnancy
complications,
and other
serious health
effects.
- How weakened oversight
could lead to
increased
radioactive
contamination
in communities
across the
country.
- Why these changes are
being promoted
to support
nuclear-powered
data centers,
new reactors,
and expanded
nuclear
weapons
production.
- How you can take action
by submitting
comments and
joining the
ProtectBetter.org
campaign.
Featured Panelists:
- Mary Olson – Generational Radiation
Impact Project
(GRIP)
- Haakon Williams – Committee to Bridge
the Gap (CBG)
- Dr. Brita Lundberg – Greater Boston
Physicians for
Social
Responsibility

We'll have a second
webinar next
week providing
a comprehensive look at the scientific, medical, and legal implications
of the NRC's
proposed
radiation
protection
rule changes,
along with
practical
guidance on
preparing and
submitting
effective
public
comments before the August 31 deadline.
Webinar #2: Wednesday, August 19 | 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern
