Nuke Facilities Safety Rules Are Targeted By NANCY ZUCKERBROD, AP
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is looking at waiving some current government safety requirements at federal nuclear facilities if contractors don't like them — after Congress directed it to start fining contractors for violations.
