What concerns have been raised about the Trump administration's mass layoffs at the Bonneville Power Administration and Hanford nuclear site?
The Trump administration's mass layoffs at Bonneville Power Administration and Hanford nuclear site have raised serious concerns about power grid reliability and nuclear safety. Over 600 essential employees have been fired, including electricians, engineers, line workers, and cybersecurity experts who maintain the largest electricity supplier in the Pacific Northwest. These cuts also affect cleanup crews at Hanford, one of the worst sites of nuclear contamination in the country. By reducing staff responsible for maintaining critical infrastructure and nuclear site management, these layoffs potentially compromise both the stability of the regional power grid and the safety protocols at contaminated nuclear facilities.
