The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has proposed changing a rule designed to protect people from radiation. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The proposed changes involve revising current radiation safety standards. According to the NRC, the new rule is scientifically based and aims to improve public health protection. However, critics worry that these changes could lower permissible radiation exposure limits.
The proposal is currently in the public comment phase. The NRC plans to make a final decision in the coming months.
