In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 14300 directing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to relax the radiation protection regulations protecting nuclear workers and the public.

Through the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) and Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA), more than $33 billion had been paid out to victims of radiation exposures from being downwind of nuclear bomb testing or working at nuclear weapons facilities. The US Congress found that 98 percent of the radiation-related illnesses and deaths resulted from radiation exposures LESS than the federal limits. This evidence strongly suggests that the existing radiation protection limits are non-conservative and certainly do not support raising the limits to harm even more Americans.
