Show Notes
Los Alamos National Laboratory raises annual radiation dose limit for workers, aiming to expedite plutonium pit production amid global tensions. The move, from one rem to two rem, aligns with the federal statutory cap of five rem per year. Critics argue its risky and unnecessary, while officials maintain its a safer, more efficient approach. Despite historical low doses, the lab led in total doses last year, reflecting the delicate balance between urgency and safety in nuclear projects.
