The Department of Energy publicly released rewritten nuclear safety rules that substantially reduce security and environmental protections for experimental reactors, following an NPR report on their secret creation. The rules were revised to meet President Trump's executive order requiring three experimental reactors to come online by July 4, 2026, cutting roughly two-thirds of requirements from earlier versions.
