But one thing everyone I spoke to agreed on is that openness is a key part of nuclear safety
As @katyhuff told me: "If it's possible to share with the companies at this point, then there's a really important question as to why it's not public."
In case you haven't found me there yet, I'm katyhuff over at #Bluesky . bsky.app/profile/katyhuff.bs…

Today, more than 1 in 3 women live in a state with a Trump Abortion Ban—many with no exceptions for rape or incest.
These bans tell a survivor that they have no right to make a decision about what happens to their body next.
That is immoral.

Every person has a right to clean, safe water.
Thanks to our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we have helped nearly 1 million people gain access to clean drinking water by removing their lead pipes.

Big milestone for advanced nuclear in the US. Congratulations Kairos Power! This is a key step on the path towards commercializing the technology. Advanced nuclear technology is what America’s clean energy future looks like.
BREAKING: Kairos Power has started construction on the Hermes Low-Power Demonstration Reactor, the first and only Gen IV reactor to be approved for construction by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the first non-light-water reactor to be permitted in the U.S. in over 50 years.
