standards regarding emergency radiation dose levels were set too low and resulted in ~1,600 fatalities to infirm patients who were unnecessarily evacuated from hospitals and other Care Centers...as a result, those PAG standards were significantly increased by the EPA (which Japan follows)....i.e. allowing higher radiation doses in such cases.
However, under the Trump administration, it's hard to find any EPA regulation not being cut back...much less new ones being implemented...that would be viewed negatively by Industry. There will always be differences of opinion, but right now it seems as though Zeldin would view another "Love Canal" episode as just the "Cost of Doing Business".
We need to learn from past mistakes and for Trump the only 'mistake' is letting concerns for Health and Well-Being get in the way of making money.
Indeed it is a tough issue...for example, after the Fukushima disaster it was found that EPA
