don't shit your pants about asbestos, things could always be worse: trump fires U.S nuclear safety boss

[butters]

fired via a 2-sentence email

Christopher Hanson —Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

He's saying the position is supposed to be nonpolitical and his firing in this manner is illegal.

In a move aimed at consolidating its authority over independent federal agencies, the Trump administration is criticizing the NRC for what it sees as its restrictive standards, perceived as an obstacle to the rapid deployment of small nuclear reactors.

This dismissal is part of a broader strategy linked to Trump’s recently unveiled energy agenda, centered on US “energy dominance”.

see? it could always be worse under trump

Is there anyone at Fox who can spell “nuclear”? If so, they’ll surely get the job.
