Outdated radiation standards drive costs and public fear, stalling nuclear innovation. Science-based reforms could unlock advanced reactors and secure US energy leadership. Executive Order 14300 calls ...

Unreasonably strict radiation exposure limits are holding back nuclear power development, according to a July report from Idaho National Laboratory (INL) researchers. The report challenges the current ...

Get an x-ray, and you get a small dose of radiation to visualize your bones and body structures to help you medically. Buy a smoke detector, you’re inviting a tiny source of radiation, americium-241, ...

Rethinking nuclear radiation and its dangers is critical if the world is to turn away from hydrocarbon sources of energy. Many of us are seeing unwelcome spikes in our electric bills. This is due in ...

Defenders of the “as low as reasonably achievable” principle say it’s the linchpin of a safety-first regulatory culture. The Department of Energy decided to roll back its radiation protection ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Nuclear power plants are exposed to high-energy radiation, which degrades materials over time. Particles and rays interact with critical components, particularly in the reactor core, leading to ...
