US urged not to use bomb-grade uranium in #nuclear power experiment
A group of former #NuclearRegulatoryCommission members, including former Chairman Allison Macfarlane, and U.S. assistant secretaries of state responsible for #nonproliferation, said the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE) at the Idaho National Laboratory could give other countries an excuse to enrich #uranium to bomb-grade level in pursuit of new #nuclearreactors. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-urged-not-use-bomb-grade-uranium-nuclear-power-experiment-2023-05-30/

The legacy of #uranium mining on #NavajoNation is a topic I’ve been covering for awhile now. This is my recent article of the #NuclearRegulatoryCommission amending a license to allow for the United Nuclear Corp to dump toxic waste a mile off of the Navajo Nation. Community members have been against this from the beginning.
