Federal Rollback Threatens Workers, Communities, And National Security
A bipartisan committee of the New Mexico Legislature is warning that the federal erosion of nuclear safety oversight threatens workers, communities, and national security. The committee is calling for restored independent oversight, a fully functioning safety board, and transparent review of sweeping DOE safety changes. The lawmakers point to the importance of protecting workers and the public, citing past incidents at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. This warning was first reported by the Los Alamos Reporter.
