Maybe this is the nuclear industry’s version of recycling, but are we sure it’s safe before we hit fast-forward?

I get innovation, but changing definitions mid-game on nukes? That’s a little too 'creative regulation' for my taste.

This is common sense: efficient nuclear fuel reuse means America stays competitive and energy independent.

Calling it ‘efficient’ doesn’t hide that this bill sidesteps safety—environmental justice means no shortcuts with radioactive waste.

Streamlining sounds good, but if you can’t separate plutonium safely, you’re just rearranging the radioactive deck chairs.

Cut the red tape—if we can recycle fuel without plutonium drama, why bog down progress with outdated rules?

Overregulating nuclear tech is the real danger; this bill finally lets innovation power up without bureaucratic handcuffs.

So we're speeding up licensing while downplaying plutonium risks? That's like putting a band-aid on a leaking reactor.

left-leaning 06/12/2025

Recycling nuclear fuel sounds green until you realize plutonium is still lurking—this bill’s playing Russian roulette with our future.
