The Trump administration is quietly moving to weaken U.S. radiation regulations, turning to scientific outliers who argue that a bit of radiation damage is actually good for you — like a little bit of sunlight.
The government's current, decades-old guidance says that any exposure to harmful radiation is a cancer risk. And critics say the proposed change could lead to higher levels of exposure for workers at nuclear installations and oil and gas drilling sites, medical workers doing X-rays and CT scans, people living next to Superfund sites and any members of the public who one day might find themselves exposed to a radiation release.
Small level of radiations induce DNA-damage repairing mechanism so that they actually decrease overall number of errors in DNA thus slightly decreasing e.g. probability of cancerogenesis.
That sounds weird but its true. There are areas on earth where the background levels of radiation are naturally high and people there live longer and healthier lives.

So it's not just the EPA anymore. Now it's Trump's EPA so you can blame everything on Drumpf.

this is an excuse from the nuclear industry and the xray lobby not to spend a few bucks on a small piece of lead which will prevent you from the basic effects of radiation.
These people need to take atomic chemistry 101 again and read the part about alpha,gamma and beta wavelengths before they are allowed to operate plants containing atomic materials. this is dangerous.
$20 million nuclear plant, $100 piece of lead? its not too much to ask of you guys is it?
