EPA Renews Radionuclide Safety Reporting Comment Request

## Summary

The EPA wants to keep collecting info on radioactive pollution rules to make sure everything’s safe and up to date. This affects businesses and facilities that handle radionuclides, and they’re asking for your thoughts by January 23, 2026.
