Summers spent at my grandparents\u2019 house in Tennessee were hot and humid. With enough cousins piled into the porch swing, you could stir up a bit of a breeze. But when that was no longer effective, we would retreat to the air-conditioned splendor of the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge and stroll through exhibits like \u201cWildcatting for Oil<\/a>\u201d and \u201cAtoms for Autos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among these varied installations, however, pride of place was given to documenting Oak Ridge\u2019s role as the secret headquarters<\/a> for the Manhattan Project and source of the Hiroshima bomb\u2019s enriched uranium. Most of the 30,000 covert workers on that project only discovered the truth of what they had been helping to build on Aug. 6, 1945, when they awoke to the headline \u201cOak Ridge Attacks Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eighty years later, on May 23, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders to further the Department of Energy\u2019s \u201cManhattan Project 2.0<\/a>.\u201d And just like the original, the second iteration of the Manhattan Project has plenty of secrets of its own.<\/p>\n

The executive orders came at the behest of tech giants like Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft, who want cheap, abundant nuclear power to run their AI data centers. And according to the United Nations, these data centers will have doubled their voracious consumption<\/a> of electricity and water by 2030.<\/p>\n

Benefiting from a second Atomic Age<\/p>\n

Nuclear industry executives who stand to benefit from a second atomic age had advance access and offered edits<\/a> to the executive orders, which maximize risk-taking and profit-making over the safety of nuclear employees and the public. They stood behind Trump<\/a> as he signed Executive Order 14299, \u201cDeploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security<\/a>,\u201d which paves the way for private companies to construct commercially owned and operated experimental nuclear reactors on Department of Defense properties and at the DOE\u2019s national laboratories.<\/p>\n

The original Manhattan Project granted the military sweeping authority to bypass regulations and red tape when developing the atom bomb. Likewise, situating these new reactors on federal land allows companies to skip environmental requirements and skirt the authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the independent bipartisan body charged with granting licenses and regulating the safety of commercial nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n

However, to achieve their goal of mass-producing portable nuclear reactors<\/a> they can deploy via semi-truck to datacenters, hospitals and industrial facilities, they\u2019ll eventually need to pass the NRC\u2019s stringent public safety and environmental standards. That is why Trump next signed Executive Order 14300, \u201cOrdering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission<\/a>,\u201d to overhaul the \u201cstructure, personnel, regulations and basic operations\u201d of the NRC.<\/p>\n

In 1974, Congress, weary of the Atomic Energy Commission\u2019s reckless experimentation<\/a> with atomic power at the expense of public safety, divided it into the DOE, which promotes nuclear power, and the NRC, which regulates it. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory were thus forced to abandon a plan to carve a second canal through Panama using 250 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs<\/a>. Executive Order 14300 is a return to the wild pre-1974 days.<\/p>\n

The order first directs the NRC to rubber stamp approval for those reactors developed under the auspices of the DOE and DOD without any additional testing. It then reduces the responsibilities and size of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards<\/a>, an independent group that once provided technical guidance about reactor safety to the NRC but now can only voice concerns when specifically asked. The president also replaced Democrat and NRC Chair Christopher Hanson and installed a steering board staffed by DOE officials to oversee the NRC reforms.<\/p>\n

Executive Order 14300 loosens radiation exposure restrictions for nuclear workers and the general public.<\/p>\n

Next, Executive Order 14300 loosens radiation exposure restrictions for nuclear workers and the general public. To implement this order, on July 1, the NRC proposed a series of changes<\/a> including limiting use of the linear no-threshold model, which affirms there is no threshold below which radiation is safe. The public has 45 days to comment on the changes.<\/p>\n

Raising doubts about the dangers<\/p>\n

The linear no-threshold model is the industry gold standard<\/a> and guiding principle for radiation safety around the world. However, in a move akin to its approach to vaccines, the administration raises doubts about the science behind the model despite the myriad studies and decades\u2019 worth of radiation data on nuclear workers that undergird it.<\/p>\n

The 2023 International Nuclear Workers Study<\/a> examined the dosimeters worn by 309,932 nuclear workers in France, the United Kingdom and the U.S. and tracked their incidents of cancer for an average of 35 years. Scientists confirmed that the greater the exposure to ionizing radiation from nuclear fission, even at low occupational levels, the greater the likelihood of death from a cancerous tumor, which often only appeared decades after exposure.<\/p>\n

UNC Chapel Hill conducted a similar study focusing on the 22,000 workers hired at the ORNL from the early days of the Manhattan Project through the mid-1980s and found results similar to INWORKS for salaried workers and even higher rates of cancer<\/a> for hourly workers. These men worked construction, laundered radioactive uniforms or, like my grandfather, laid railroad track to allow for the removal of \u201clegacy waste\u201d from the Manhattan Project without any protection or knowledge that they were being exposed.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when it comes to ionizing radiation, which is invisible and difficult to measure<\/a> accurately, the ethical approach is to keep the exposure level \u201cas low as reasonably achievable,\u201d or what is known as the ALARA standard. This might mean minimizing the time employees spend with radioactive materials, requiring protective gear or, in the case of the public, keeping radioactive emissions below legal limits.<\/p>\n

However, protecting people doesn\u2019t fit with the \u201cmove fast and break things\u201d methods of tech moguls who want nuclear energy ASAP to power their AI databases. So, in its new proposed rules, the NRC is acknowledging linear no-threshold but dispensing with the ALARA standard in favor of a graded approach where safety is determined by situation with little accountability. Nuclear investors and Trump donors Peter Thiel and Mark Andreessen have been lobbying for the abolition of ALARA from the NRC, also a recommendation of Project 2025<\/a>. <\/p>\n

More DOE changes<\/p>\n

The DOE began secretly eliminating ALARA from its own radiation protection framework in August 2025<\/a> without officially informing employees or the public until January 2026<\/a>, although it did notify nuclear executives. To justify the end of ALARA, the DOE cited a report<\/a> they themselves commissioned from the Idaho National Laboratory. That report said that to reduce \u201cunnecessary economic burdens,\u201d companies could now expose workers to five REM a year.<\/p>\n

Roentgen Equivalent Man measures the biological effect and risk of radiation exposure to human tissue. According to the National Academies of Sciences<\/a>, an exposure of five REM a year could cause cancer<\/a> in one out of five career nuclear employees. The INL report proposes a future increase to 10 REM a year, which would raise the cancer rate to four out of five.<\/p>\n

New DOE rules also double the radiation exposure level<\/a> that would trigger an official investigation from two times to four times the legal limit. When Seth Cohen<\/a>, the DOGE employee tasked with removing government \u201cbarriers\u201d for nuclear companies, was asked if they should establish a fund for such workplace accidents, he said, \u201cWhen SpaceX started building rockets, they sort of expected the first ones to blow up.\u201d Andreessen called Cohen \u201cAn American hero\u201d on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, nuclear contractors for the DOE, including the start-up companies, now can ignore what\u2019s known as Appendix A<\/a> to Part 851 on Worker Safety and Health Functional Areas. As a result, precautions such as informing employees of possible hazards, procedures regarding possible carcinogens, requiring respiratory protection equipment or providing \u201ccomprehensive occupational medicine services\u201d are no longer mandatory. This rule change does not apply to contractors working with other forms of energy.<\/p>\n

Without occupational medical services to track and document radiation exposure and any subsequent disease, it will be difficult for employees to later obtain the care and compensation they\u2019re owed in the event of an accident or overexposure. Such was the case for victims of the partial meltdown of Three Mile Island<\/a>, who had no way to prove in a court of law that they had received excessive doses of radiation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The nuclear startups receiving special dispensation from the DOE are part of a pilot program established under Executive Order 14301, \u201cReforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy<\/a>.\u201d The DOE selected Oklo Inc. (Energy Secretary Chris Wright formerly served on its board of directors), Aalo Atomics Inc., Antares Nuclear Inc., Atomic Alchemy Inc., Deep Fission Inc., Last Energy Inc., Natura Resources LLC,\u00a0Radiant Industries Inc., Terrestrial Energy Inc. and Valar Atomics Inc. as the companies whose experimental reactor designs will be tested at locations in Texas, Kansas, Utah and Tennessee (Oak Ridge). In another attempt to dodge NRC oversight, these companies are considered DOE contractors whose reactors are subject to DOE rules no matter their location.<\/p>\n

Participants in the Reactor Pilot Program will be testing Small Modular Reactor prototypes and experimenting with new sources of fuel which, without the necessary regulations, have the potential to jeopardize public safety. The most expensive<\/a> element to build in a nuclear power plant is the lead-and-concrete containment shield designed to keep radioactive vapors from escaping in the event of a nuclear meltdown. Shielding is what failed 40 years ago during the 1986 Chernobyl<\/a> Unit 4 power plant disaster in Ukraine and what held when Pennsylvania\u2019s Three Mile Island suffered a partial meltdown in 1979.<\/p>\n

Supporters of SMR say their new high-assay, low-enriched uranium fuel called TRISO is so safe that physical containment isn\u2019t necessary. But X-energy, a nuclear reactor and fuel company funded by Amazon, released an accident analysis<\/a> that said TRISO could exceed safe temperatures by several hundred degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is that, with new reactors, they introduce\u00a0new safety concerns and new technical issues,\u201d said Edwin Lyman<\/a>, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists. \u201cEvery design I have looked at has potential safety\u00a0and security vulnerabilities, which are not being\u00a0addressed to the extent that they need to be.\u201d The DOE also has jettisoned the requirement to have a cognizant system engineer<\/a> monitoring each of the reactor\u2019s safety systems, calling it an \u201cunnecessary burden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet, new types of fuel produce new types of nuclear waste<\/a>. Every few years, a traditional nuclear power plant removes the highly radioactive spent fuel rods, which are now a mixture of uranium and plutonium, and leaves them to cool in pools of water before they\u2019re sealed in concrete casks for what is supposed to be interim storage. Today, 100,000 metric tons<\/a> of spent fuel are sitting in limbo because the federal government has failed to find a permanent storage solution for high-level nuclear waste.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to most, fully one third of all Americans live within 50 miles<\/a> of nuclear waste storage.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to most, fully one third of all Americans live within 50 miles<\/a> of nuclear waste storage.<\/p>\n

The waste problem<\/p>\n

SMRs face the same long-term waste disposal conundrum, only they produce a more chemically and physically reactive waste and two to 30 times more of it than traditional reactors. This waste is not compatible with current nuclear waste disposal technologies, so engineers are experimenting with ways to manage the output and radiation. In response, the DOE replaced its former 59-page waste removal manual<\/a> with 25 pages of bullet points.<\/p>\n

Entirely missing from the abridged version are the sections on waste packaging and monitoring. Last July, Trump dismissed all but one member of the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board<\/a>, an independent federal agency charged with reviewing the science behind the DOE actions regarding spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste.<\/p>\n

Executive Order 14301 also orders the DOE to \u201creform its rules\u201d regarding the National Environmental Policy Act by excluding SMRs<\/a> from a full environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. Previously, nuclear reactors had to address their potential impact on water, air and ecosystems at specific locations.<\/p>\n

Now, in a possible violation of the Clean Water Act, the DOE says the release of radioactive water and steam<\/a> into the environment should be \u201cavoided\u201d but is not strictly prohibited. Companies no longer \u201cmust\u201d protect groundwater from radioactive contamination. \u201cAvoiding\u201d or \u201cminimizing\u201d is sufficient. Monitoring for contamination is optional.<\/p>\n

But because cleaning up radioactive spills is expensive, the INL report<\/a> also recommends abandoning the ALARA standard for the public. Both the NRC and the DOE are following this directive. However, the NRC has decided not to change the .1 REM public exposure limit, while the DOE is raising the limit from .1 REM to .5 REM.<\/p>\n

This is in addition to the average .62 REM of \u201cbackground radiation<\/a>\u201d Americans receive from sources like the sun and air travel. The DOE increase will be the equivalent of 50 X-rays a year per person, which will result in one in 57 people who live near a DOE nuclear facility developing a fatal cancer. Women and children, especially girls, will feel the effects even more severely.<\/p>\n

When exposed to radiation within the current legal limit, women are 50% more likely<\/a> to die of radiation-induced cancer than men, and girls are seven times as likely<\/a> as men and twice as likely as boys of the same age to develop cancer. The DOE also has cut the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security<\/a>, the agency\u2019s internal team of health experts who study radiation safety, so it\u2019s unclear who would monitor for this potential danger.<\/p>\n

And yet another danger<\/p>\n

Executive Order 14302, \u201cReinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base\u201d<\/a>, further endangers the safety of nuclear workers and the wider public by providing the nuclear industry with Cold War-era plutonium-239 harvested from dismantled nuclear warheads. Because the U.S. doesn\u2019t currently have enough uranium for Manhattan Project 2.0, Oklo, Standard Nuclear, Exodys Energy, SHINE Technologies and Flibe Energy plan to convert plutonium into SMR fuel.<\/p>\n

Plutonium is highly toxic<\/a> if inhaled and requires special ventilation to handle. Other countries that have attempted to use plutonium have found converting it not worth the expense. It\u2019s also highly sought after for bomb-making and requires heightened security measures. With a half-life of more than 24,000 years<\/a>, managing plutonium is not a short-term commitment. And yet, because companies complained about the cost of security, the DOE jettisoned hundreds of pages of security regulations<\/a> for reactors, including specifications for storage and requirements for firearms training and emergency drills.<\/p>\n

Instead, Executive Order14302 encourages the reprocessing of nuclear waste, a practice discontinued during the Carter administration because it produces excess plutonium. In February, the Trump administration awarded $19 million<\/a> to five companies that will experiment with nuclear fuel \u201crecycling,\u201d which is a misleading moniker. The reprocessing of spent fuel creates its own high-level radioactive waste<\/a>, albeit with a half-life of a thousand years rather than tens of thousands of years.<\/p>\n

Enabling these changes to the country\u2019s nuclear regulations is Executive Order 14303 \u201cRestoring Gold Standard Science<\/a>,\u201d which is less about rigorous science than it is about \u201cdoubt science,\u201d the strategy utilized by the tobacco industry to raise doubts about the dangers of smoking and dodge regulation. MAGA officials and DOGE staffers are cherry-picking data that supports their agenda and discarding evidence that does not.<\/p>\n

They are quite fond of citing fringe scientist Edward Calabrese<\/a>, who, from his work with fruit flies, thinks a little radiation might be beneficial for people. My great, great, great grandfather said something similar while hawking \u201cDr. Kister\u2019s Radium Charged Water<\/a>\u201d in the 1900s, until the government ordered him to cease and desist.<\/p>\n

Who should we trust?<\/p>\n

Industry executives promise their new SMR technology is safe, but Trump has disbanded the independent boards that might hold them accountable. Furthermore, given the disregard Amazon has shown to warehouse worker safety<\/a> in the name of profit, why would anyone believe that Amazon-owned X-energy would be any more considerate to its nuclear employees or the general public?<\/p>\n

The DOE also has a horrific history when it comes to protecting people and the environment from nuclear waste and ionizing radiation. In 2005, radioactive contaminants from deteriorating waste disposal facilities at the Oak Ridge nuclear plant infiltrated the Clinch River<\/a>, a source of drinking water in East Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Summer in Tennessee is demonstrably hotter than it was 40 years ago. Even folks who deny the reality of climate change can\u2019t ignore that tomato planting time is earlier than ever. Some experts say nuclear energy must be a part of America\u2019s renewable energy portfolio if we are to cut carbon emissions and reduce global warming. China<\/a>, our stated AI nemesis in the Manhattan Project 2.0, also has developed SMR but is relying heavily on solar and wind farms to power its data centers.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration also had a plan<\/a> in place to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050, which called for adding staff to the NRC to speed up licensing, rather than repealing safety regulations. Following the lead of Canada and Finland, they sought to build trust<\/a> with local communities through a multi-year consent-based process.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Trump vows to quadruple the country\u2019s nuclear capacity, enticing states to volunteer sites as \u201cNuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses<\/a>.\u201d Selected cities will enrich uranium, create fuel, generate nuclear power, reprocess spent fuel and store nuclear waste all in one location, although without the local buy-in, trust building or necessary geological prescreening present in the Biden plan.<\/p>\n

Gov. Bill Lee<\/a> of Tennessee applied to make Oak Ridge one of these nuclear campuses, although with 230 nuclear lifecycle companies operating between Oak Ridge and Knoxville, plus ORNL and the secretive Y-12 National Security Complex, it\u2019s practically one already.<\/p>\n

One of the joys of those summer visits to Tennessee as a child was seeing my uncle who worked at Y-12 as a chemist. When asked about his latest classified projects, he would sigh, fold his hands across the bib of his overalls and say, \u201cWell, if I told ya, I\u2019d have to kill ya,\u201d and we kids would laugh. But the serious, sobering truth is the total impact of the radiation from these facilities is itself a secret. It\u2019s been called the \u201cperfect crime<\/a>\u201d because low doses of ionizing radiation can inflict cell damage and cause cancer decades after exposure.<\/p>\n

Remnants of the original Manhattan Project are still around in Oak Ridge, whispering about its secret past. The impact of ionizing radiation lingers like the abandoned guard towers at the edge of town. Residents of Oak Ridge and the surrounding rural towns have more incidents of cancer<\/a> than the national average due to exposure from this radiation.<\/p>\n

On July 4, four of the pilot program SMRs had achieved nuclear criticality. No doubt the relaxation of safety and environmental regulations helped make this possible. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the Manhattan Project 2.0\u2019s quest for cheap electricity<\/a> to power Silicon Valley\u2019s data centers.<\/p>\n

However, just like the original Manhattan Project, America won\u2019t know the full cost for at least another generation. Thanks to Trump\u2019s deregulation spree, that cost to the health and well-being of Americans could be high indeed.<\/p>\n
