>The federal government is proposing to overhaul radiation safety regulations for nuclear power, including by eliminating a long-term principle for nuclear safety.

>The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) this week proposed to get rid of the requirement for nuclear plants to ensure that radiation exposure is “as low as is reasonably achievable.”

>Proponents of the change say just using radiation dose limits is less subjective than going by the “as low as is reasonably achievable” principle — and that it led to overly conservative protections that stifled the nuclear industry.

>Supporters of the current language, however, say that having the “as low as reasonably achievable” principle, also known as ALARA, in place ensures that nuclear plants take all measures possible to reduce exposure for workers and the general public.

>[...]

>In addition to axing ALARA, the NRC is proposing other changes, including loosening emissions limits for radioactive material.

It doesn't look like this proposal has made it to the Federal Register yet nor to the NRC's Documents for Comment page.

Come hang out look for mushrooms and learn! We'll also be doing a cooking demo with the edibles we find. Kids and pets welcome!

I live off of Trinity and every night when I'm out with my dog, people race down the road going at such dangerous speeds, racing each other. Literally a block from the police department. So loud and dangerous.

In the corporate world, jobs are posted for a week or two, then the close. In that time frame, there can be hundreds of applicants. After that, the recruiter looks at applications and passes on the best ones to the hiring manager. Then the hiring manager select who to call for an interview.

But this doesn't seem to be the case at LANL. One job, I applied for the day it posted on May 2. It's still posted on the website as open for applications and my application is under review status. Others are taken down after a few weeks, but my application remains in Pending Review status for weeks or months.

How quickly after applying should I be hearing back for an interview? When would a job without any follow up be considered a lost cause? Can someone help me make sense of it?

I don’t think the reason is the hill. Not the 80s no more. Uber exist, people have friends, there’s public transportation. With a wealthy population, I would assume the donations would be larger. So that’s enough motivation to come up here.

Thought?

He films himself playing basketball and golf at East Park and talks loudly to himself. I know I should mind my business but he creeps me out. Can anyone vouch for him? Is it just an act? Please tell me it's an act and he's chill af.
