About this listen

 President Donald Trump has reshaped the Nuclear Regulatory Commission over the past year to align it more closely with his administration’s nuclear ambitions. But current and former officials told POLITICO that the NRC is no longer operating independently, raising new questions about the future of the nation’s nuclear safety watchdog. POLITICO’s A.J. Camacho joins host Nirmal Mulaikal to explain what’s changed inside the agency and how that could impact public safety and America’s nuclear revival. Plus, EPA’s repeal of the greenhouse gas endangerment finding will be published in today’s Federal Register, and President Donald Trump slammed a new clean energy agreement between California and the United Kingdom.
