ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Under the President’s Executive Order, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or
NRC, is at it again. This time, during a 30-day comment period, the NRC is proposing a

Why does it matter whether plutonium pits are “aging” before their time? We all
age. We get old and we die. But that’s not what the Department of Energy (DOE) and
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) want for their plutonium pits. They
want to make sure that they will “live” forever.
Once again, the Department of Energy and its semi-autonomous National
Nuclear Security Administration has denied the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
