Demand Transparency and Public Oversight for New Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program
Related Article: DOE Announces 11 Selections for New Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program - Conservative Angle - conservativeangle.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 12:45:19 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Goal: Ensure that all federally supported nuclear reactor projects operate with full transparency, prioritize community input, and adhere to the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.
The DOE's recent selection of 11 projects to receive federal support for advanced nuclear reactor development raises important questions about transparency, safety, and environmental impact. Nuclear energy has the potential to provide low-carbon power, but it also carries significant risks to public health and the environment if not managed with rigorous oversight.
We call on the DOE and NRC to ensure that these projects are subject to robust public scrutiny, independent safety reviews, and meaningful community engagement. Federal support must not come at the expense of safety, environmental justice, or democratic accountability.
Communities near proposed reactor sites deserve a voice in the process, and the public must have access to all relevant information about safety protocols, waste management, and emergency preparedness. We urge immediate action to guarantee that these principles are upheld throughout the pilot program.
Key Demands
- Require full public disclosure of safety assessments, environmental impact reports, and project plans for all selected nuclear reactor projects.
- Mandate independent, third-party safety and environmental reviews before any reactor achieves 'criticality.'
- Establish formal mechanisms for community consultation and input at every stage of project development.
- Commit to rigorous, transparent waste management and emergency preparedness protocols.
- Ensure that all projects adhere to the highest standards of environmental justice, prioritizing the protection of vulnerable and historically marginalized communities.
